THE UNWANTED UAAP PREVIEW PART 2

[antichange]

Just a couple of updates since I posted Part 1 of my yearly unsolicited UAAP preview. First, it was reported that La Salle's L.A. Revilla will miss Season 72 due to still unclear medical reasons. Second, La Salle apparently left out RP Youth member Papet Paredes and La Salle Greenhills star Martin Reyes on its official roster. That brings the Green

Right on the kisser regarding Jarencio's lack of coaching skills. UST would have gone down several places below last year if not for Jervy Cruz. This season should be a long torturous one for the growling faithfuls. Makaisa lang sa mga favorites this season masaya na siguro kami

To be fair, Jarencio can motivate well. But then again, that can only take a team so far. He needs to learn more about the X's and O's, especially that he's in college basketball. Plays are a must when handling young players.

The next few yours will be torturous for UST. It will take time for us to find another Jervy Cruz. Let's just all hope that the Tigers can pull off some sort of miracle run this season.

the miracles of Pido have runout. its time for a change. people are already starting to forget the fluke glory of Season 69.

champion ka this year, yet fails to make the finals the next year and then fails make the final4 2 years later DESPITE still having the core of the team that won the Championship?

NOW that the likes of Cruz, Cuan, Canlas, Taylor, Gile, and Allera have moved on, san pa pupulutin ang UST? Jarencio was very lucky to have inherited a strong team that took Nel Parado years to build, now everything rests on the shoulders of Pido to find replacements, and seeing this year's UST roster, its one of the weakest in years!

Motivating Skills

Kung talagang magaling mag-motivate si Coach Pido, bakit di nakapasok ng Final 4 ang UST nung isang taon kahit napakalakas na line-up nila? Mukhang overrated ang pagiging motivator ni Coach Pido. Di man lang niya nagamit maigi sina Taylor, Gile, Vargas at yung pointguard na teammate datin ni Famfulme sa Lyceum. Si Canlas naman lalong pababa ang laro mula ng season 69. Naalala ko nung isang taon laban sa UE, nakahabol ang UST from a 20+ deficit nung first half ng ma-eject si Pido at inako ni Coach Acot yung coaching duties. Ang magandang laro lang ni Coach Pido ay nung napanalo niya ang UST laban sa DLSU nung season 70.

Like I said, motivational skills can only take a team so far. Ganun na nga nangyari kay Pido last season. Lumabas 'yung kakulangan niya ng kaalaman sa mga play at in-game adjustments.

Fire Pido Now

As previously mentioned from the comments section, Pido is a better motivator than coach. Actually, he doesn't have the coaching skills that would motor a team to succeed, all loose talk, and poor basketball strategies. Its just sad that they failed to maximize the talent they had when the great Jervy Cruz was still around. From what I heard, Acot seems to be a promising coach. UST needs a better scouting and recruiting program. But what they need now is a Coach. If Pido Jarencio still follows his 3Ps (Pride, Puso, Palaban), he ought to resign after this season, since its already too late and not advisable should he quit now. Good luck to Dylan and the rest of the Growling Tigers. Viva Sto. Tomas! - A

To add to the woes of the Tigers, Coach Beaujing Acot apparently left the Tigers' coaching staff this season. He was allegely replaced by Japs Cuan who will form a comic tandem with Coach Pido as UST's version of Allen K and Wally from Eat Bulaga. Expect rib tickling antics from these two...
