Tamayo malaking kawalan sa UP

MANILA, Philippines — Aminado si University of the Philippines head coach Goldwyn Monteverde na malaking kawalan si Carl Tamayo sa Fighting Ma­roons para sa susunod na season ng UAAP men’s basketball tournament.

Hindi lamang player kun­di anak ang tila nawala sa veteran mentor dahil ma­tagal din ang pinagsa­ma­han ng dalawa.

“Carl has been part of our lives since he was 13. And I can say he is really selfless, always putting the team before himself, sho­wing great character both on and off the court,” ani Mon­teverde sa kanyang social media account.

Nilisan ni Tamayo ang Fighting Maroons upang maglaro para sa Ryukyu sa Japan B.League.

Malaking tulong ito para masuportahan ni Tamayo ang kanyang pamilya.

At umaasa si Monte­verde na madadala ni Ta­mayo ang lahat ng kanyang natutunan sa bagong team.

“I am always amazed at his incredible determina­tion, passion, and his desire to always be the best version of himself for the team,” ani Monteverde.

Kasama ni Monteverde si Tamayo sa Nazareth School of National Univer­sity.

Nang lumipat si Monteverde sa UP ay isinama ni­ya si Tamayo.

Malalim ang pinagsamahan ng dalawa.

“I will miss his company because more than just my player, Carl is family. I am honored to be his coach for many years,” dagdag ni Monteverde.
