Cone, who steered the centennial team to a bronze medal finish in the 1998 Asian Games, turned to twitter to address the requests of Gilas fans.

Gilas fans came to Douthit's defense and some even called for Reyes' resignation as the coach of the national team, asking Cone to coach Gilas instead. — JST, GMA News
