Ex-head coach Aldin Ayo’s coaching staff members are back as interim coaches of the UST Growling Tigers and the Tiger Cubs.
Jinino Manansala, the juniors’ former head coach, will assume a temporary position for the seniors’ team, while McJour Luib will handle the Cubs, a source told the Varsitarian.
Manansala and Luib were the only coaching staff members who resigned with Ayo last September.
Before the Sorsgon “bubble” issue, Manansala was named as the Tiger Cubs head coach last August replacing Bonnie Garcia.
Both tacticians were part of last year’s coaching staff that steered the Tigers to a second-place finish.
UST recently endorsed Ayo’s appeal against the indefinite ban imposed by the UAAP board, describing the punishment as “too harsh.” Rommel Bong R. Fuertes Jr.
