ICYMI: Winner of two UAAP and two PBA titles in his playing career, former UST standout Bal David reportedly returns to his alma mater to coach the Growling Tigers' program turnaround.
MANILA, Philippines – UST is turning to a familiar face in the hopes that the Growling Tigers’ basketball winning culture gets back on track for UAAP Season 85 and beyond.
The 49-year-old will have his first coaching gig after a 10-year career as a player with Barangay Ginebra, where he won two titles. The Tigers won two more titles in 1996 and 1997 to complete the four-peat, but David had since moved on to greener pastures at that point after being drafted by the Sunkist Orange Juicers in the 1995 PBA draft before settling with Ginebra.
“I have known Bal for a long time. We played together in high school and then again in college for three years. I have seen with my own eyes how the difficulties of life transformed him into the person and the basketball player that he is,” Villanueva said in a released statement.
