The two best coaches in the history of the PBA will meet again as Barangay Ginebra and TNT face off in a best-of-seven showdown for the Governor’s Cup title.
The first game of the finals is scheduled for Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, which will mark the first time Cohen and Reyes have met in a finals series since the 2012 Directors’ Cup.
At the time, Koen was still coaching the Purefoods team and led then-B-Meg Llamados (now Magnolia Hotshots) to the championship in a classic Game 7 win over Reyes-coached Talk ‘N Text. That game ended 90-84 in overtime when outside recruit Denzel Bowles made two free throws before regulation expired to tie the game.
Cohen and Reyes are 3-3 in the all-time meeting in the PBA finals.
