THE search for the new head coach of the National University Bulldogs men’s basketball team is on.
Athletic director Chito Loyzaga said this after coach Eric Altamirano’s courtesy resignation with the Bulldogs was finally accepted by management.
“We are now inviting interested parties who may want to apply for the position,” said Loyzaga.
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.
“NU got it after 60 years. Memorable for the NU community. And we’re thankful,” said Loyzaga.
Disappointments over the result of their campaign in the ongoing season kept them from pursuing plans for next year.
NU ended its campaign this season with 53-77 loss to the Adamson Falcons for a fifth-place finish and a 5-9 record.
