FORMER San Beda College coach Jamike Jarin is almost sure to become the new head coach of the National University Bulldogs men’s basketball team.
Sources said they are close to making a decision on Jarin’s role with the Bulldogs following the resignation of Eric Altamirano last month.
The school is searching for a new coach and is deliberating on a final decision.
Altamirano tendered his resignation after six seasons two weeks ago. He quit the team while plans were being finalized to have the NU Bulldogs go into a rebuilding mode after their campaign in Season 79 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball tournament was over. The Bulldogs won the crown for the first time after 60 years under Altamirano’s watch.
San Beda College team manager Jude Roque wished Jarin the best in his career as the latter takes on the new challenge as the looming head coach of the Bulldogs in the coming 80th UAAP men’s basketball season.
“We will always be grateful for the fruitful two years that he nurtured the Red Lions,” said Roque.
Jarin was around when the Red Lions captured the Season 92 National Collegiate Athletic Association title, together with the 2015 Fil-Oil Cup and PCCL crowns.
