In my PBA preview, I wrote:

[Tim Cone’s Twitter account] provides all kinds of awesome stuff, like the answer to the question: “Who’d you pick to take the last shot in the game, Willie or Jolas?” Every PBA coach should have a Twitter account. Yeng Guiao’s would contain Kapampangan profanity while Ryan Gregorio’s would just be a feed full of clichés. Chot Reyes’ Twitter feed would be about fashion and style.

Well, my wish took another step closer to reality, with Talk N Text coach Chot Reyes joining the Twitter bandwagon (@coachot) a couple of days ago. There are no fashion tips there (at least, not yet), but there’s already interesting stuff from the loquacious coach, including his feelings about parting with sharpshooter Renren Ritualo, who was included in the recent blockbuster trade between his team and Air 21.

But my favorite part of Coach Chot’s Twitter account is his profile picture, which looks straight out of a GQ photo spread. I think we can all learn a thing or two about fashion and projection just by looking at this picture.



Coincidentally, Reyes’ move to join Twitter comes a couple of weeks after leaving a comment on this blog to talk about the Talk N Text walkout, where he addressed, among other things, my calling his actions a ‘dick move’. There is another coach who has been reacting to some of the stuff I’ve been writing here about him. Could he be next to join Twitter?
