Jarin named new Lyceum Pirates coach
MANILA, Philippines — Lyceum of the Philippines University has tapped Jamike Jarin as its new head coach on Friday, taking over from Gilbert Malabanan.
"After a long deliberation, our president, Atty. Bobby Laurel chose coach Jamike as the Pirates' new head coach because he represents the values of the school, which are excellence, integrity, and service,” said LPU Athletic Director Allan Layco.
“Through his career in basketball, he not only won championships, he did so the right way while developing not just players who excelled on the court, but also as individuals off of it."
The appointment marked Jarin’s return to the grand old league after steering the San Beda Lions to the championships a decade ago.
“It’s been 10 years since the last time I was in the NCAA. I’m excited to be back coaching in college and mentoring these young men again. Coaching never stops, and learning never stops,” said Jarin.
“I’ve been blessed to coach for this long. We’re coming in with a lot of new ideas and fresh approaches. In my heart of hearts, we’ll be coming in with a different mindset.”
