Summary
After a dismal performance by the team in the All-Filipino, coach Rino Salazar was replaced by former Shell mentor Joe Lipa beginning the Commissioner’s Cup. [1] Shell won their first three games and were five wins and one loss when they lost four of their last five matches in the eliminations. In their last assignment on July 31, Seven-time best import Bobby Parks was accused of deliberately throwing games after Shell lost to San Miguel in overtime by one point, thereby eliminating Toñdena 65, who were hoping to gain a tie with the Beermen and a playoff for the last semifinals berth. Parks was replaced by Jerome Lane starting the semifinal round.
In the Governor's Cup, Shell originally brought in Guy Taylor as their import. But Taylor was unimpressive in their exhibition outing against Pepsi Mega in Subic and was sent home in favor of Carl Ray Harris. [2] After eight outings, Harris was replaced by Delano Demps, the former 7-Up import who led the Bottlers to a runner-up finish two years ago. Demps saw action for only two games and went back home. Michael Morrison was on his third tour of duty with Shell and he came just in time for their playoff game against Tondeña 65 on October 30. Shell was the last entry into the semifinals by winning against the Rhum Masters in overtime, 125-123. [3] Morrison played a total of five games until their fourth reinforcement in the Governor's Cup, Terrence Lewis, replaces him and played in the last six games for the Turbo Chargers in the semifinals.
