Since Quincoces was a
Basque pelota pala player before becoming a football professional, when his career finished, he was chosen by the Francoist authorities as President of the
Valencian Pilota Federation, believing that Basque and Valencian
handball sports were the same. Quincoces declared to the press several times that he was unwilling to undertake this task, but while he was in charge (late 1960s and early 70s) he promoted new measures that resulted in profit for
Valencian pilota, such as the beginning of the Youth Championships, compulsory for the
trinquets that wanted to host professional tournaments, this was the way
pilotaris such as
Genovés I and
Xatet de Carlet began. ==References==
