History
Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League
The Mindoro Tamaraws joined the MPBL as an expansion team for the 2019–20 season, backed by 7A Sports and with Justin Tan as the team owner In the Tamaraws' inaugural season, the team finished 12th in the South with a 9-21 record. In April 2020, actress and Pola mayor Jennifer "Ina Alegre" Cruz became co-owner of the team.
In the 2021 MPBL Invitational, Mindoro was able to make the playoff tournament by placing second in Group D. The team would go on to lose to the eventual Invitational champion Basilan Jumbo Plastic in the quarterfinals. Despite the great performance, in the 2022 season, the Tams finished with the worst record in the league, only getting one win in 21 games.
Heading into the 2023 season, the team was renamed the Oriental Mindoro Disiplinados; it would be changed partially to Mindoro Disiplinados in June 2023. On July 4, 2023, the Disiplinados played its first-ever home game in the Sentrong Pangkabataan. Later in the month, the team joined the Junior MPBL with the Mindoro Junior Disiplinados, the team was previously the junior team of the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo.
National Basketball League
In 2021, a second team dubbed as the Mindoro Tamaraws Disiplinados was formed for the NBL–Pilipinas which is meant to a more homegrown-oriented team as opposed to the MPBL team which is intended to be the "showcase team".
Scheduled Pilipinas Super League participation
In October 2023, the Disiplinados were announced as one of the new teams for the Pilipinas Super League's 2023–24 President's Cup, where team would supposedly participate under the name RCP Pola Disiplinados–Shawarma Shack.
During the opening ceremonies, however, there was no mention of the Disiplinados. The team would move forward as the RCP–Shawarma Shack Demigods.
Tamaraws ägs av Angelino Castañeda och tränas av Bruce Palma. Laget spelar sina hemmamatcher i City Coliseum i Calapan.
Tamaraws grundades 2018 och deltog först i MPBL:s Datu Cup. Laget nådde slutspelet, men slogs ut i kvartsfinalen av Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards.
I följande säsong, Rajah Cup, förbättrade Tamaraws sin ställning och nådde semifinalerna, där de förlorade mot tittaren Batangas City Athletics.
Under 2020, på grund av COVID-19-pandemin, ställdes MPBL in. Tamaraws spelade dock i den inofficiella MPBL Lakan Season, där de nådde slutspelet igen.
Tamaraws har en stark trupp ledd av veterananfallaren Jeric Teng och den unga talangen Aaron Black. Laget har också en bra blandning av erfarna och unga spelare som kan hjälpa dem att utmana om ett MPBL-mästerskap.
