Why Firing Bo Perasol May Not be the Best Idea for the Blue Eagles

I'll be really honest. When Bo Perasol came in as head coach for the Ateneo Blue Eagles, I had my doubts. Sure, he had his background as the head coach of the Powerade Tigers, but other than that, he hasn't done anything particularly amazing when it's come to his coaching career. So when Bo Perasol came in as coach, one question circled around my mind. Why Bo? 2 and a half seasons after, still, one question circles around my mind. WHY. BO? These past 2 and a half seasons has been so frustrating for Ateneo Blue Eagles fans such as I. It's not just because Ateneo hasn't won any championships. I'm pretty sure the community has had worse. There were the Dark Ages, and the drought which the Blue Eagles had from 2003 - 2007. So why the frustration? It's because of how the Blue Eagles got those wins. Sure, Ateneo won 11 wins last year, and they have 4 wins out of a possible 7 so far this year, but at what cost? Games where your best player bails you out...
