Career highlights and awards

Jason G. Misolas is a Filipino former professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He was also an assistant coach for the UST Growling Tigers.

College career

[edit]

Misolas played for the Letran Knights in college, winning two back-to-back NCAA championships from 1998 to 1999 alongside Kerby Raymundo, Chris Calaguio, and Aldin Ayo.[1] When Raymundo left in 2000, he became the leader of the team.[2] He graduated from the team in 2001.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

Coca-Cola Tigers

[edit]

2002: Rookie Season

[edit]

Misolas was drafted in the third round by the Coca-Cola Tigers.[4] Although he was rarely used, he became a PBA champion when on Christmas Day, Coca-Cola won Game 4 and clinched the All-Filipino Cup.[5][6]

2006–2009

[edit]

When his contract expired, Misolas left Coca-Cola to play in the Philippine Basketball League (PBL).[7][8] He won two PBL championships from 2004 to 2006.[9][10]

Misolas returned to Coca-Cola in 2006 for the 2006–07 Philippine Cup.[11] In a win against the Purefoods Chunkee Giants, Misolas had career-highs of 14 points and 10 rebounds.[12] Against the San Miguel Beermen, he scored 10 points.[13] In a win over Alaska, he scored a new career-high 15 points, all in the first half.[14]

Sta. Lucia Realtors

[edit]

In 2009, Misolas and two second round draft picks were traded for Dennis Espino.[15] In the 2009–10 Philippine Cup, they were eliminated by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the wildcard round.[16]

Barako Bull Energy Boosters

[edit]

On September 22, 2010, Misolas was traded for Asi Taulava to the Barako Bull Energy Boosters in a three-team trade.[17]

On January 20, 2011, the management of the Energy Boosters announced that they would take a leave of absence for the 2011 Commissioner's Cup to make way for the Smart Gilas Philippine national team. Misolas and the other players were put into a dispersal draft. He and Mark Andaya were not picked, making them free agents.[18][19] After that, Misolas closed out his career playing in various commercial leagues and regional tournaments.[20][21]

Coaching career

[edit]

In 2018, Misolas joined the coaching staff of the UST Growling Tigers.[citation needed] In UAAP Season 84, UST went 3–11, and finished the season with a six-game losing streak. After their season ended, he and all of the assistant coaches resigned.[22]

National team career

[edit]

In 2005, Misolas was selected to be part of the Philippine men's national basketball team pool for the 2005 SEABA Championship.[23] However, the Philippine team was suspended by FIBA for two years.[24]
