Without wanting to create distractions in the ranks of the Cowboys, manager Nelson Colón returned positive from the interviews he had this week in the United States with teams from NBA for a future technical position in the best league in the world.
Last Tuesday, the representation of the Cowboys mentor informed in a press release about his trip to the north to meet as several quintets thanks to meetings coordinated by his agent Daniel Hazan, of Hazan Sports Management.
Colón, also manager of the National Team, was absent in the second game of the series in Quebradillas, with the team in charge of his assistant Luis Camacho. Bayamón came out with the victory 86-74.
After the huge victory today Thursday at the Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum to put the quarterfinal series of the National Superior Basketball (BSN) in his favor 3-0, Colón said that it was “super” in the interviews. Hazan mentioned to El Vocero that he had conversations with the Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors.
Puerto Rican point guard José Alvarado plays for the Pelicans, whom he directed in his debut with the National Team in the two games of the third qualifying window for the FIBA World Cup 2023 at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum, in San Juan, at the beginning of the month.
“I am very happy, blessed by God and grateful to my agent for opening incredible doors. Never in my life did I think I would have an opportunity like this.”Colón said of the topic after today’s match.
“I want to handle it that way, not get emotional. Calm. Let things happen and focus here that this is very nice. We have a mission, to win the championship. I think that is the most important thing now. The other will come with the favor of the Lord. The team needs me here and not thinking about other things”, he added.
Colón has been in charge of the Cowboys since 2018, with a championship in 2020. Previously, he won two consecutive titles in 2014 and 2015 with the Leones de Ponce. At the end of last year he was appointed manager of the National Team to replace Eddie Casiano.
Bayamón can advance to the BSN semifinals with a win on Saturday at the Raymond Dalmau Coliseum.
