Rajko Toroman's fingerprints would again be all over Philippine basketball soon.
This surfaced yesterday when College of Saint Benilde head coach Charles Tiu told Daily Tribune that the Serbian strategist will act as a consultant for both the school and Converge FiberXers in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Toroman, who formerly called the shots for Gilas Pilipnas and the Iranian and Indonesian squads, will be in the country for two months, according to Tiu, citing confirmation from the teams' backers Frank and Jacob Lao.
Toroman and Tiu are not strangers to each other as they once acted as head coach and assistant during their stint with Gilas.
"When I brought it up to Boss Frank and Jacob, they were on board right away, it was almost a no-brainer for them. It was more on the scheduling of coach Raijko but he will be here for two months only," Tiu said.
"Rajko will bring a lot of discipline, will help us in our execution and will help us tactically. I look forward to learning more from him."
Toroman will be joining Paolo Layug, Carlo Tan, Gabby Severino, Marvin Bienvenida, and JC Cullar on Tiu's staff.
Tiu said having Toroman's presence will definitely give Saint Benilde a big boost as the Blazers prepare for their campaign in Season 99 National Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball tournament.
