Ato Agustin ready to hand over the Petron Blaze Booster to coach Rajko Toroman?


After a disastrous semifinal round , different talks pertaining to possible replacement of Coach Ato Agustin are being discuss by the Die Hard fans of Petron Blaze Booster.


Despite having a loaded of border-line starter to star player and proclaimed as the team to beat this governor's cup, Petron Blaze Booster were officially booted out of the finals race last night . Manyclaims that Petron was too loaded of star players while some hinted out that coach Ato Agustin was overwhelmed by the talent of his team. 

But before the semifinal race, i remember that Coach Ato was quoted saying "Eto and Team n talagang Palaban" and "Parang ang dali sa mata ng coach hawakan ang team ngayon," after the PBA All-Stars Weekend. 

Now, it seems that Ato is singing another tune as stated by Snow Badua on his Twitter (see below).

SNOW to ATO AGUSTIN: Ano po ba ang merun last GOV's CUP na wala ngayon? AA: Dati kasi madaming injured sa amin. May mga role players kami

ATO AGUSTIN: Napansin ko, lahat halos ng players namin ngayon superstar. Lahat sikat. Wala ng role playing. Parang wala na ring malasakit.

ATO AGUSTIN: Hangga't hindi nababago ang mindset ng team. Tingin ko kahit sino i-upo dito, ganun din ang resulta.

ATO AGUSTIN: Inaamin ko may mga lapses din naman ako. Pero ganun talaga basketbol, pagnananalo, Magagaling player Pag natatalo, mahina coach

ATO AGUSTIN: Yung decision making sa PETRON, hindi lang ako. Hindi puro akin yan. Kinukunsulta ko rin ang lahat.

Ato Agustin is right after all, it's not his fault at all. The personality of his players has somehow affected the outcome of their reign. Jay Washington and Arwind Santos were not having a smooth sailing together and it seems that the team was divided into two groups the Homegrown and the Fil-ams. But i also do believe that it's his responsibility to bring the balance and the atmosphere of camaraderie in his team since he's the coach.

Will we see a revamp in the coaching staff of Petron next season? or will we see a change in their Line-up?
