Coaching career

Early career

Gonzalez, a Letran alumnus, son of a former La Salle Green Hills Greenies Tanny Gonzalez, worked with Binky Favis in the late 1990s. He's a part of Letran championship run at 1999. [4]

After his stint at Letran, he coached at British School Manila and then became part of Glenn Capacio's coaching staff at FEU Tamaraws from 2007 to 2010. He joined Globalport Batang Pier, and reunited again with Capacio. When Pido Jarencio took over, Gonzalez left for Kia Sorento in 2014. [4]

In 2015, Gonzalez, returned to Letran, with Ayo, a former player of the 1999 team, was coaching, and Capacio also joined. They won the 2015 title. The three later moved to La Salle, and also win a championship. [4]

De La Salle Green Archers

When Ayo left for UST, he was appointed to head coach the De La Salle Green Archers with Siot Tanquingcen and Capacio as his assistants, [4] but fired after a lackluster performance. [5] He was replaced by Gian Nazario. [6]

JRU Heavy Bombers

He was hired by the JRU Heavy Bombers, replacing Vergel Meneses. [7] [8] [9] He also served as a head coach to Muntinlupa Cagers. [10] In JRU, Gonzalez coached the Heavy Bombers to a 7th place finish in NCAA Season 95 (2019), [11] then a last placed finish with only one win in pandemic-shortened Season 97 (2022). [12] In Season 98 (2022), Gonzalez had to deal with his player John Amores going on a punching spree against Benilde. Amores was cut from the team, but Gonzalez expected him to return on the next season. JRU finished better this season, tied for 6th with 7 wins. [13]

In Season 99 (2023), Gonzalez was suspended for being ejected in their game against Benilde. [14] JRU finished with 10 wins, its best finish under Gonzalez, only being eliminated on their final elimination round game. [15] The Heavy Bombers regressed in Season 100 (2024), finishing last place with 4 wins, [16] and saw Gonzalez being suspended anew for confronting game officials. [17]
