Lawrence Chongson's Got PEx

As pointed out by the local sports blog Fire Quinito and alluded to by myself on Twitter, former UE Red Warriors coach Lawrence Chongson has taken to posting at the UE Red Warriors III thread over at the Pinoy Exchange UAAP forums, and the result has been quite enlightening.

Fire Quinito has already gone and highlighted the passages involving Chongson's dismissal, the shrinking role of Bong Tan in Red Warriors management, and Paul Lee's non-inclusion in Team Gilas, but there's other juicy bits in there including:

• Chongson downplaying Rene Baena's role in the upswing of UE's fortunes in Round 2 last season
• Saying that he preferred Ponso Gotladera over Chris Javier
• A list of recruits that he had in the pipeline from abroad
• Roi Sumang's academic saga
• UE letting go of some of his recruits and him bringing them over to NU, including Henri Betayene
• Squelching the possibility of Paul Lee returning to UE to play
• My personal favorite, the chance that he could have been FEU's head coach for S74
