A SPIN.ph source later confirmed that it was Collier and Gavieres who were in the photo and that they are now part of the team’s coaching staff.
Collier has moved to Magnolia after serving as an assistant coach and skills coach of Barangay Ginebra for a number of years.
Collier and Gavieres were also with Tenorio as his assistant coaches during his debut with Gilas Pilipinas Youth at the SEABA Under-16 Championship.
Gavieres previously was an assistant coach in the PBA with Alaska and Terrafirma.
Tenorio has started working with Magnolia in preparation for the PBA's 50th season in October as it looks to atone for a woeful campaign that saw the Hotshots fail to advance past the quarterfinals in all three conferences.
Their last season under Chito Victolero saw the Hotshots blow twice-to-beat advantage against eventual finalist TNT in the quarterfinals.
