Now that the 80th Season of the UAAP is in full swing, the two are once more in each other’s crossfires. But despite their rivalry, both have nothing but praise for each other.

“Both of us are very familiar with each other and I have so much respect for that coach,” said Ayo after his Green Archers outdueled Jarin’s National University Bulldogs 115-109 Saturday. “He always brings the best in me.”

“It’s always interesting when you coach against La Salle and Aldin is a really good coach,” said Jarin.
