Who is Ron Jacobs?

Ron Jacobs was head coach of the men's basketball team at the Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. After turning the program around in just a season from a lowly 5-21 pushover to a legitimate contender, Jacobs was invited to coach the Philippine team by then Ambassador Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr..

Jacobs brought the Philippines back to prominence in basketball during the 80's and is the last head coach of the Philippine National Basketball team to have a winning record against the Chinese National Basketball team.

As a basketball coach, Jacobs revolutionized the way basketball was played in the Philippines. He raised the level of technology in playing the game and turned every contest into a learning experience by showing how to win with science, hard work, team play and discipline.
