James Yap bids Tim Cone goodbye
Mum since the rumors started, James Yap finally broke his silence and posted an emotional farewell to coach Tim Cone on Friday.
In his Instagram account @jamesyap18, the two-time PBA MVP wrote: “Thank you for giving me my first 4-peat and my first ever Grand Slam. I won 5 of my 7 championships with you coach, I will forever be grateful. It was a privilege being coached by you Coach Tim!!! Good luck and God bless. #ThankYouCoachTimCone #GrandSlamCoach #WinningestCoach #purefoods #BMeg #SanMigCoffee #StarHotshots”
Yap left the country for Europe on Thursday and will be back by the second week of August, when the Star Hotshots return to practice under new coach Jason Webb.
