“UE Management feels that the Warriors’ head coach must be one who will handle the team full-time, one without commitments to other teams.”

Zamar, who had a second tour of duty as UE coach when he replaced Jerry Codiñera midway through Season 75, also serves as an assistant coach of the San Miguel Beermen in the PBA and head coach of the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems in the PBA D-League.
