'''Jerry Herman Codiñera''' (born November 14, 1966) is a Filipino coach and retired [[professional basketball]] player of the [[Philippine Basketball Association]]. He is nicknamed the '''"Defense Minister"''' for his prowess at the defensive end. He is the current head coach of the [[Bulacan Kuyas]] of the [[Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League]].

==Basketball career==

===Collegiate / Amateur career===

Codiñera played college basketball at the [[University of the East]]. With [[Allan Caidic]], they led the [[UE Red Warriors basketball|UE Red Warriors]] to back to back championship in 1984-1985, the last championship of the Red Warriors in [[UAAP]]. Prior to joining the PBA in 1988, he played for [[Magnolia Purewater Wizards|Magnolia]] in the Philippine Amateur Basketball League (PABL, now the [[Philippine Basketball League]]).

===Professional career===

For 12 seasons suiting up for [[Star Hotshots|Purefoods]], Codiñera was one half of the most dominant duo to ever terrorize the All-Filipino hardcourts. But a trade split up his partnership with [[Alvin Patrimonio]] and saw him wear a new jersey for the first time since joining the PBA in 1988. On July 8, 1999, in the middle of the [[1999 PBA Commissioner's Cup]], he was traded to Mobiline for [[Andy Seigle]].<ref>{{ cite web |last1=Ramos |first1=Lily |title=Seigle goes to Purefoods in exchange for Codinera |url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/alt.language.balita-news/zsH1UjzCpDQ/1rLe8wit7gwJ |website=[[Google Groups]] |publisher=(c) 1999 Philippines News Agency|access-date=16 October 2014 }}</ref>

A perennial member of the All-Defensive Team, he was given the moniker "Defense Minister" for his tireless manning of the post. In fact, the 6-5 Codiñera was also a terror on the offensive end who had an unerring 18-foot jumpshot not normally found in big men. He came close to winning an MVP award in 1993 but lost to Patrimonio in the tightest race for the prestigious trophy in league history. He also won the first [[Philippine Basketball Association Best Player of the Conference award|PBA Best Player of the Conference]] award back in the [[1994 PBA All-Filipino Cup|1994 All-Filipino Cup]].

He is also a member of the '''[[25 Greatest Players in PBA History|25 Best Players of all Time]]''' of PBA and [[Philippine men's national basketball team]] of the [[1994 Asian Games]].

His #44 jersey was retired along with [[Rey Evangelista|Rey Evangelista's]] #7 by the Purefoods franchise on November 9, 2014, before their game against [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel|Ginebra]] at the [[Smart Araneta Coliseum]].<ref>{{ cite news |last1=Beltran |first1=Nelson |title=Mixers to retire Codiñera jersey |url=http://www.philstar.com/sports/2014/10/11/1378881/mixers-retire-codinera-jersey |work=PhilStar.com|publisher=[[The Philippine Star|Philippine Star]]|date=November 11, 2014 |access-date=May 14, 2015 }}</ref>
