The third winningest coach in the history of the PBA has signed a
renewal contract with Skil – a brand of power tools distributed by
Robert Bosch.
Black, probably the best import to have ever played in the PBA and one
of only four to accomplish a rare grand slam feat for the San Miguel
Beermen in 1989, admits using the tools in his house. With his wife,
Coach Norman has built a small gym in their abode using Skil tools
that include circular saws, cordless drills, cordless screw drivers,
cordless tackers, cordless sealant guns, belt sanders, random orbit
sanders, multi-sanders, angle grinders, hammers, drills, mixers, jig
saws, lasers and measuring tools, reciprocating saws, routers, and
planers.
"I am happy to endorse a product that I have been using for years
already," said Black during the March 30 contract signing with Bosch
executives Mr. William Go, Country Sales Director and Mr. Martin
Valenzuela, Brand Manager for Skil.
The Skil endorser is excited for his coming coaching commitments. In
July, he will vie for his fifth straight title for the Ateneo in the
UAAP and in October, will be the head coach of Talk N Text after his
last PBA championship with Sta. Lucia. He will also be a consultant of
the national basketball team.
