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...

Thoughts on the Current UAAP Suspension Fiasco

     Well, I didn't expect to return at this time.      I'll be honest, I was eyeing to return last week, but ACTUAL basketball actually stopped me from doing so. In short, I've been playing more with my buddies from #K2015, and that's taken up my time from writing about UAAP basketball. Well I've found time, so here I am writing about controversy. Great way to return, aye? Coach Bo has been subject to much controversy over the past few days. (credits to sir Roy Afable)

UAAP Season 76: Ateneo Blue Eagles Preview and Predictions

      The season starts in a couple of days, and teams are surely preparing hard for the grand chase to the Championship. The parity for the league this year is practically unheard of, with nearly every team being contenders not only for a Final Four spot, but also for the championship.       For my preview and predictions for each team, I will predict the team's standing (meaning the place that they will be in), and the different developments that I expect to see from the team as the season rolls on. I will also list down the key players for the team's run to the Final Four, and the players who we should watch out for developmental wise (rookies and bench players fall under this category).   For the last post of this series, I will be analyzing the reigning and defending champions. The Ateneo Blue Eagles.
