Tab Baldwin will no longer be a part of the TNT Katropa’s coaching staff after the team announced his departure.
Team manager Gabby Cui confirmed Thursday the news that Baldwin is out as a consultant and assistant coach for the team.
Baldwin’s firing comes weeks after the American-Kiwi coach was in hot water with the basketball community for making controversial comments.
However, team manager Cui clarified that the decision to release Baldwin was unrelated to the incident.
“We decided on this transition way before the lockdown,” Cui said.
Baldwin remains as head coach for the UAAP champion Ateneo Blue Eagles and as a program director for the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.
