'''Earl Timothy Cone''' (born December 14, 1957) is an American professional [[basketball]] coach who leads [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel]] in the [[Philippine Basketball Association]] (PBA) and the Philippine men's national team. He is the most accomplished coach in PBA history with 25 titles including two Grand Slams, five Coach of the Year awards, and the most coaching wins with over 1,000.

Cone was a proponent of the [[triangle offense]].<ref>{{ cite web |last1=Eberhardt |first1=Doug |last2=Prada |first2=Mike |url=https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/10/23/7041727/phil-jackson-triangle-offense |title=The triangle's holy war |website=[[SB Nation]] |date=October 23, 2014 |access-date=November 7, 2014 }}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Cone was born in the United States and grew up in [[Oregon]]. He moved to the [[Philippines]] when he was nine years old after his father came to the country to work in the logging industry.<ref>{{ cite book |author=Rafe Bartholemew |title=Pacific Rims |publisher=New American Library |isbn=978-0-451-22999-1 |pages=40–41 |date=June 2010 }}</ref> Cone attended a public elementary school in [[Baler, Aurora|Baler]], [[Aurora (province)|Aurora]] and later at [[International School Manila]].<ref name="traceroots">{{cite news |title=Austria, Cone trace roots to Quezon |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2017/03/05/1676814/austria-cone-trace-roots-quezon |access-date=July 3, 2020 |work=The Philippine Star |date=March 5, 2017}}</ref>

Cone returned to the United States when he was 18 to study at [[Menlo College]] in [[California]] and the [[George Washington University]] in [[Washington D.C.]] After college, Cone worked at a bank in San Francisco before returning to the Philippines at 24.<ref name="traceroots"/>

== Commentary career ==
Cone worked as a [[Vintage Television]]'s basketball analyst for [[PBA on Vintage Sports|PBA coverages]] from 1986 until 1989.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Henson |first=Joaquin M. |author-link=Joaquin Henson |title=Bobong never settled for 2nd best |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2017/06/06/1707566/bobong-never-settled-2nd-best |access-date=2024-02-09 |website=Philstar.com}}</ref>

==Coaching career==

===Club===

====Alaska Milk (1989–2011)====
1989, after working for [[PBA on Vintage Sports|Vintage Sports]], Cone took over as the coach of the Alaska Air Force with players such as the famed Bruise Brothers duo of [[Elpidio Villamin|Yoyoy Villamin]] and Ricky Relosa, and [[Abet Guidaben]]. A year later, Cone led the Air Force to the finals of the [[1990 PBA Third Conference]]. Alaska blew a 2–0 lead in the best-of-five series to suffer one of the biggest collapses in PBA history, losing to [[Star Hotshots|Purefoods]] in five games.

Cone was barred from coaching in the [[1991 PBA All-Filipino Conference]] due to a February 1990 case filed by the [[Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines]] questioning the alien employment permit given to Cone by the [[Department of Labor and Employment (Philippines)|Department of Labor and Employment]]. The group's complaints stemmed from Article 40 of the Labor Code that only allows the hiring of a foreigner only after determining that no Philippine resident is competent, able, and willing to perform services at the time of application. The [[Supreme Court of the Philippines]] ruled against [[Alaska Milk Corporation|General Milling Corporation]], Cone's corporate employer, in April 1991. He was temporarily replaced that time by assistant coach [[Chot Reyes]]. Cone was able to return to PBA coaching when he gained permanent resident status after his August 1991 marriage to Filipina girlfriend Cristina "Cris" Viaplana.<ref>{{cite web |last=Leongson |first=Randolph B.  |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/tim-cone-was-once-banned-from-coaching-in-the-pba-here-s-why-a2437-20200703 |title=Tim Cone was once banned from coaching in the PBA. Here's why. |website=Spin.ph |date=July 3, 2020}}</ref>
Cone and Alaska won their first championship by defeating [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel|Ginebra San Miguel]] in the [[1991 PBA Third Conference|1991 Third Conference]]. That team was led by [[Jojo Lastimosa]], [[Eugene Quilban]] and [[Paul Alvarez|Bong Alvarez]].

After several struggles, Cone's team would have a strong group of locals [[Lastimosa]], [[Johnny Abarrientos]], [[Bong Hawkins]], [[Jeffrey Cariaso]] and [[Poch Juinio]], while having import [[Sean Chambers]] for the Milkmen. From 1994 to 1998, the Milkmen won eight titles in 14 conferences during the stretch. The highlight of that run, though, would come in the 1996 season when Alaska won the coveted [[Grand Slam (PBA)|PBA Grand Slam]], becoming the third franchise and the fourth team to win a Grand Slam in the history of the league.
While Alaska continued to dominate by adding [[Kenneth Duremdes]] in 1997. Duremdes, playing a limited role with the Pop Cola franchise, rose up to the occasion in 1998 under Cone's tutelage, winning the [[Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player award|PBA Most Valuable Player Award]] at 24 years of age. That year, Cone was hired as the coach of the [[Philippine Centennial Team]] led by Duremdes, Abarrientos, Lastimosa, three players on Cone's Alaska team, and PBA stars [[Alvin Patrimonio]], [[Marlou Aquino]], [[Vergel Meneses]], [[Allan Caidic]], with defensive anchor [[Andy Seigle]] and rising star [[Olsen Racela]]. That team won a bronze medal in the [[1998 Asian Games]] in [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]].

Alaska won the [[2000 PBA All-Filipino Cup|2000 All-Filipino Cup]], but afterwards, the team faced rebuilding and traded away several remnants of the old Alaska. Cone, however, would lead the young team of [[John Arigo]] and [[Ali Peek]] to runner-up finishes in the [[2002 PBA Governors' Cup|2002 Governors']] and All-Filipino Cup. A year later, the Aces added [[University Athletic Association of the Philippines|UAAP]] star [[Mike Cortez]] and [[Brandon Cablay]], leading Alaska to the [[2003 PBA Invitational Cup]] championship, Cone's 11th title.

On July 17, 2006, Manila Standard reported that after his 17 years of service, Alaska is set to terminate Cone depending on a meeting between both parties after Cone's contract with the Aces expired on July 15. Rumors also speculated that his replacement will be his former assistant, former [[Philippines men's national basketball team|National team]] mentor [[Chot Reyes]], with Cone staying on as team consultant.

However, a day later, the Aces' official website reported that Cone has agreed to a new deal to stay on as the team's head coach for the [[2006–07 PBA season]]. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

====Purefoods (2011–2015)====
On September 1, 2011, Alaska team owner Wilfred Uytengsu announced that it has "released Tim Cone as head coach of the Alaska Aces" after his 22 years of service for the Alaska Aces. Uytengsu remarked that Cone requested to be released a week earlier. Cone was quick to deny in a press conference that he is set to coach [[Star Hotshots|B-Meg Llamados]], another PBA team.

On September 14, 2011, Tim Cone was at the B-Meg Llamados practice that day and was introduced as the new head coach. He tapped former Alaska players [[Johnny Abarrientos]] and [[Jeffrey Cariaso]] as assistant coaches. The two new assistant coaches were joined by current assistant coach [[Koy Banal]].<ref>{{ cite news |title=Cone named B-MEG Llamados' new coach |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/232355/sports/cone-named-b-meg-llamados-new-coach |last=Fopalan |first=Renee |work=GMANetwork.com |date=September 14, 2011 |access-date=May 14, 2015 }}</ref>

On May 6, 2012, the Llamados won the [[2012 PBA Commissioner's Cup]] championship 4–3 over defending champion [[Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters]]. This was Cone's 14th title, and his first with B-Meg.<ref>{{ cite news |title=Bowles carries B-MEG over Talk 'N Text to win Commissioner's Cup title |work=InterAksyon |publisher=InterAksyon |url=http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/bowles-carries-b-meg-over-talk-n-text-to-win-commissioners-cup-title |date=May 6, 2012 |access-date=May 14, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511193336/http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/bowles-carries-b-meg-over-talk-n-text-to-win-commissioners-cup-title |archive-date=May 11, 2012 }}</ref>

On October 25, 2013, the Llamados, under Cone's tutelage, won the [[2013 PBA Governors' Cup|PBA Governors' Cup]] championship, after beating [[San Miguel Beermen|Petron Blaze Boosters]]. By winning the season-ending best-of-seven series 4–3, the former Purefoods ballclub won its second championship over the last five conferences and more importantly the 15th career title for Cone, putting the veteran coach in the company of the great [[Baby Dalupan]] at the top of the all-time list.<ref>{{ cite news |title=Brave San Mig in seventh heaven after holding off Petron to take PBA title |url=http://www.spin.ph/sports/basketball/news/brave-san-mig-in-seventh-heaven-after-holding-off-petron-in-big-dome-thriller-v02 |last=Sacamos |first=Karlo |work=Spin.ph |date=October 25, 2013 |access-date=May 14, 2015 }}</ref>

On February 26, 2014, Cone won his 16th PBA title as he guided the Mixers to their 11th title against the [[Rain or Shine Elasto Painters]]. They beat the E-Painters in six games. With this win, he broke legendary [[Baby Dalupan]]'s record. On May 15, 2014, San Mig Coffee Mixers beat the Talk N' Text Tropang Texters in Game 4 of a best-of-five series, where San Mig earned the chance to capture the rare Grand Slam. This championship gave Tim Cone his 17th PBA title.<ref>{{cite web |last=Dy |first=Richard |title=Indomitable Barroca stands tall as San Mig wins title with emotional Game Six win |url=http://www.spin.ph/sports/basketball/news/indomitable-barroca-stands-tall-as-san-mig-wins-title-with-emotional-game-six-win |work=Spin.ph |date=February 26, 2014 |access-date=May 14, 2015}}</ref> He clinched his 18th title, and again made history by being the first mentor to win two Grand Slams after he steered San Mig Coffee to become [[Grand Slam (PBA)|Grand Slam]] Champions while accomplishing four straight championships and grabbing the 2014 Governor's Cup title.

====Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (2015–present)====

On July 20, 2015, San Miguel Corporation president [[Ramon S. Ang|Ramon Ang]] confirmed the appointment of Cone as the new head coach of [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel]].<ref>{{cite news |title=IT'S DONE: SMC big boss Ramon Ang confirms Tim Cone move from Star to Ginebra |url=http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/news/tim-cone-is-new-ginebra-coach-confirms-ramon-ang-smb-big-boss-transfer-jason-webb-star-purefoods-frankie-lim#SHAAExQbpWDcoYHM.01 |work=Spin.ph |date=July 20, 2015 |access-date=July 20, 2015}}</ref> The reassignment of Cone will seek to end the curse of Ginebra which last won in the [[2008 PBA Fiesta Conference|2008 Fiesta Conference]].

On October 4, 2016, Cone led [[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel|Brgy. Ginebra]] to its first finals appearance since 2013. Ginebra defeated sister team [[San Miguel Beermen]] in a do-or-die Game 5, 117–92. Ginebra went on to face the [[Meralco Bolts]] in the finals and winning in six games (4–2), giving the team its first championship after 8 years of drought. Cone later led Ginebra to six more championships.

On November 18, 2022, he recorded his 1000th win, the most wins for a PBA coach.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ramos |first=Gerry |title=Tim Cone says 1,000 wins a product of sustained success |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/durability-championships-behind-tim-cone-s-1-000-win-career-record-a793-20221118 |work=Spin.ph |date=November 18, 2012 |access-date=November 20, 2022}}</ref>
