He has been with Pumaren’s coaching staff back when he was still with the La Salle Green Archers back in 2007.
School administrators took him into the fold following a meeting last Wednesday.
Last season, the Red Warriors finished with a 4-10 win-loss record.
The Red Warriors will be bannered by Senegalese center Alex Diakhite and guard Harvey Pagsanjan.
