THE UNIVERSITY of San Carlos Warriors coaching rigodon may have finally found the right man for the job after school management and team brass tapped one of the most successful high school coaches in Cebu to be their new head coach—Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu’s Rommel Rasmo.
The Warriors have been in limbo ever since they hoisted the Cesafi men’s basketball title— their very first title in 57 years—late last year. Not only did they lose the league MVP Shooster Olago and key guys Charles Pepito and Nico Magat but also lost head coach Britt Reroma, who opted not to renew his contract with the school.
Recently, interim head coach Bong Abad, also begged off from the job, thus forcing USC athletic director Fr. Adriano Ocariza, S.V.D., to look for a replacement. They quickly found one in Rasmo, the top honcho of the three-time defending Cesafi juniors champions, Magis Eagles.
“It was a collective decision, one that was made by me and other stakeholders of the basketball team. We feel that we made the right choice,” said Ocariza yesterday.
