1994 Shell Rimula X season

The 1994 Shell Rimula-X season was the 10th season of the franchise in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Off-season transactions[]

Occurrences[]

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]

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 in their last outing in the eliminations of the Commissioners Cup. Shell’s loss to the Beermen eliminated Toñdena 65, who were hoping to gain a tie with San Miguel and a playoff for the last semifinals berth.

Imports[]

Bobby Parks didn’t finish the whole conference for the first time in his eight PBA seasons. He was replaced by Jerome Lane starting the Commissioners Cup semifinal round.

In the Governor's Cup, Shell’s original choice Guy Taylor was unimpressive in their exhibition match against Pepsi Mega in Subic and was sent home in favor of Carl Ray Harris. ^[2] After eight games, 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 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 the last six games for the Turbo Chargers in the semifinals.
