The EAC Generals basketball program represents Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) in men's basketball as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) (NCAA). The EAC Generals joined the NCAA in 2009, having been a fixture in the National Capital Region Athletic Association (NCRAA) and Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (UCAA).

History

[edit | edit source]

NCRAA and UCAA champions

[edit | edit source]

The Generals have been champions in the NCRAA and UCAA due to the exploits of Ronjay Buenafe, seen to be as the best player in program history, having his #8 jersey retired by the team.[1]

Entry to the NCAA

[edit | edit source]

The Generals joined the NCAA in 2009 as one of the three guest teams.[2] The Generals finished with a 6–12 record.[1] Nomar Angeles Isla coached the Generals until 2010 when he went on to be their representative in the management committee. He was replaced by Gerry Esplana.[3] They had their best showing in 2013 when they finished with a winning record at 10–8, but barely missed the Final Four.[4] At the next season, the Generals finished outside the playoff places, and figured in a brawl against the Mapua Cardinals. This, coupled with internal issues with management, led to Esplana to resign.[5]

Andy de Guzman coached the team in 2016 to a last-place finish. EAC-IAC Brigadiers (their juniors team) coach Ariel Sison then replaced de Guzman.[6] In the 2017 season, the Generals, led by Sidney Onwubere, finished with a 7–11 record.[7] After finishing with a 4–14 record in 2018, Sison was replaced by Oliver Bunyi.[8] The Generals equaled their previous season record, but had notable wins against playoff teams Lyceum and San Sebastian.[9] Bunyi bid farewell to the Generals after their 63-62 overtime triumph over Arellano University to close out their NCAA Season 98 Seniors Basketball campaign.[10]

As of January 25, 2023, Jerson Allen Cabiltes has been tapped as the new head coach of the Generals.[11] The Generals were eliminated from the playoffs in Cabiltes' first season in charge.[12]
