Active consultant

The role of head coach is generally restricted to Filipino citizens, due to the efforts of the Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines (BCAP), an association of local Filipino coaches. The BCAP has historically opposed the practice of hiring foreigners through the Philippine's legal system. The BCAP often cites Article 40 of the Labor Code as argument for their position that foreigners should be restricted from being hired as head coaches, since Filipino coaches were deemed capable of fulfilling the head coach role.{{cite news |last1=Fopalan |first1=Renee Avena |title=Why Tim Cone and Norman Black can coach in the PBA and how Rajko Toroman can too |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/content/292672/why-tim-cone-and-norman-black-can-coach-in-the-pba-and-how-rajko-toroman-can-too/story/ |access-date=December 26, 2020 |work=GMA News |date=January 30, 2013 |language=en}}

The ruling on employing of foreigners as PBA head coaches has been laid as early as 1990. The BCAP in the early 1990s opposed the appointment of Tim Cone as head coach of the Alaska Aces. Cone, who has been a resident of the Philippines since he was nine years old but at the time has yet to marry his Filipino wife and secure permanent residency, had his 1989-issued work permit revoked in 1991.

Foreigners have served as consultants or advisors to Filipino head coaches in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) such as Ron Jacobs with San Miguel in the late 1990s, Rajko Toroman for Petron, and Todd Purves with the San Miguel Beermen.

In 2002, BCAP secured a favorable ruling from the Court of Appeals (CA) with regard to their position of hiring foreign coaches under Article 40 of the Labor Code. The CA ruling became final and executory after it went unchallenged in the Supreme Court.

{{quote|Employment permit of non-resident aliens. Any alien seeking admission to the Philippines for employment purposes and any domestic or foreign employer who desires to engage an alien for employment in the Philippines shall obtain an employment permit from the Department of Labor.

The employment permit may be issued to a non-resident alien or to the applicant employer after a determination of the non-availability of a person in the Philippines who is competent, able and willing at the time of application to perform the services for which the alien is desired.

For an enterprise registered in preferred areas of investments, said employment permit may be issued upon recommendation of the government agency charged with the supervision of said registered enterprise.|source=Article 40. on the Employment of Non-Resident Aliens, Presidential Decree No. 442 (1974), likewise known as the Labor Code {{cite web |title=Presidential Decree No. 442 |url=https://lawphil.net/statutes/presdecs/pd1974/pd_442_1974.html |website=The LawPhil Project |access-date=December 26, 2020 |date=May 1, 1974}}}}

The BCAP in the past has insisted that the ruling also include college basketball such as the UAAP although it has clarified that the ruling doesn't include the head coach role in the Philippine national team due to its "temporary" nature. Ateneo consultant Tab Baldwin was ruled as a head coach by the UAAP in UAAP Season 79 (2016), after complaints from other teams. Baldwin was seen drawing out plays and barking instructions, but since he is not the head coach, any technical fouls called on team personnel other than the head coach falls on the head coach and not on the erring personnel. This would have seen a hypothetical scenario where then coach Sandy Arespacochaga would be ejected from the game from Baldwin's actions, with Baldwin himself remaining on the bench.

The role is not restricted to foreigners. Caloy Garcia, a Filipino, took the role of active consultant for Rain and Shine after serving as head coach for the team.{{cite news |last1=Dioquino |first1=Delfin |title=Rain or Shine clears air on Caloy Garcia role as 'active consultant' |url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/pba/rain-shine-elasto-painters-clear-air-caloy-garcia-active-consultant/ |access-date=15 September 2022 |work=Rappler |date=8 March 2021}} Chot Reyes took the role of senior consultant for the TNT Tropang Giga's campaign in the 2023 PBA Governors' Cup so he could focus more on coaching the Philippine national team.{{cite news |last1=Terrado |first1=Reuben |title=Chot Reyes to still play key role at TNT as senior consultant |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/chot-reyes-to-still-play-major-role-as-tnt-senior-consultant-even-as-he-focuses-on-gilas-a795-20230117 |access-date=22 January 2023 |work=Sports Interactive Network Philippines |date=18 January 2023 |language=en}}

The consultant role in theory serves as an advisor to the head coach, a position which is usually reserved for Filipino citizens, by imparting their coaching experience. In practice, they could play a big role in leading the team during actual games. There are duties that a consultant could not make, such as speaking in behalf of the team during press conferences, which is done by the head coach.

Foreigners working as consultants need to secure a working permit from the Department of Labor and Employment.

The Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines (BCAP) has laid out exemptions on the prohibition of PBA teams hiring foreigners as head coaches. The coach association has said that they won't oppose the hiring of foreigners as head coaches, who they deem have "enough experience and knowledge", which they could impart to local coaches under a "transfer of technology" set-up. Coaches who reportedly satisfy this conditions include:

• Former coaches of NBA teams
• Former coaches of NCAA Division I teams who have brought their side to the Final Four.

Foreigners with permanent residency are likewise exempted from the head coach restriction on foreign nationals. Such is the case for Ron Jacobs, Tim Cone, and Norman Black after they have married Filipino nationals.
