NCAA Coaching Changes: Caloy Garcia is Letran Head Coach, Topex back with the Stags?





Caloy Garcia is the Letran Head Coach

 Yeng Guiao's Chief Deputy Caloy Garcia is back in the NCAA coaching field as he signed a 1-year deal with Letran Knights. He would be filling in the void left by the resignation of Louie Alas. Little do we know it, Caloy was a member of the Letran Squires (High School) before joining CSB for Seniors basketball.

Update: According to Coach Caloy, the 1-year deal with Letran is not yet final.

Topex back to San Sebastian?

Reports said it, a familiar face would be back doing head coaching duties for San Sebastian Stags starting February 1. If this would push through, Topex would definitely have his hands full as Stags would have to rely on its holdovers and recruits from Stags which would not bolt out after Stags benefactor former Mayor Dennis Pineda now out of the team.
