Jarin named new San Beda coach
Multi-titled coach Jamike Jarin has been named coach of San Beda in the NCAA, replacing Boyet Fernandez as the Red lions seek a sixth straight crown next year.
Fernandez returned to coaching in the PBA with the NLEX Road Warriors.
The 44-year-old Jarin, a former Ateneo high school mentor, confirmed his appointment to the Inquirer yesterday.
“It’s a dream come true,” said Jarin, who studied grade school, high school and college at San Beda. “It’s always nice to be given an opportunity to give back to my alma mater.”
Jarin steered the Eaglets to five titles in eight seasons. But the highlight of Jarin’s career remains his work with the national Under-16 and Under-18 teams.
Under Jarin, the PH Under-16 squad finished second in last year’s Fiba Asia Championship, paving the way for its historic return to the world competition in Dubai early this year.
