This PBA coach has definitely made an impact on Alapag.
Jimmy Alapag has been busy with the Stockton Kings, but recently the Mighty Mouse found some time to catch up with a longtime friend and mentor back during his time in the PBA.
That person is Phoenix Fuel Masters head coach Jamike Jarin, who used to be part of the coaching staff of the Talk 'n Text franchise in the 2010s.
“My longtime assistant coach in the PBA, but more importantly a great friend and mentor. Great seeing you Coach Jamike,” Alapag wrote in an Instagram Story on Tuesday.
Jarin served as assistant coach early in the decade where he would mentor a young Alapag.
Of course, some of the lessons from Jarin surely have caught on with Alapag as he continues his journey with the Kings.
Jarin, on the other hand, has been focused on helping the Fuel Masters reach even greater heights in the PBA.
While the two have gone their separate ways, it’s always nice to see friends and former mentors catch up once in a while.
