Magsanoc named UAAP commissioner

MANILA, Philippines — Ronnie Magsanoc will serve as the new UAAP basketball commissioner, taking over from newly-minted Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Richard Bachmann.

Bachmann has confirmed the appointment of the 56-year-old Magsanoc for the job he vacated after being officially sworn in as chief of the PSC earlier this week.

With the men’s and women’s basketball of the ongoing UAAP Season 85 already finished, Magsanoc is expected to oversee the juniors basketball this month to fire off the remaining second semester events.

Magsanoc, concurrently serving as assistant coach for Meralco Bolts in the PBA and Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) 3x3 program director, will also handle the UAAP 3x3 basketball.

He will carry a good momentum from Bachmann, who introduced innovations to UAAP basketball.
