'Since I retired, I wanted to help La Salle. This is the perfect timing for me.” A four-time UAAP champion, former Green Archers star Renren Ritualo hopes to steer La Salle Green Hills back to title contention.
Former De La Salle Green Archers superstar Renren Ritualo has been named the next head coach of the La Salle Green Hills in the NCAA juniors basketball tournament.
Ritualo, a four-time champion with La Salle during their UAAP dynasty from 1998 to 2001, will handle the task of steering the Greenies back to title contention. “My goal is all about winning. If you’re going to ask me, of course, winning is everything,” said Ritualo in mix of English and Filipino. As far as the system he plans to implement, it will be “a combination of everything” he learned from all his head coaches and clinics both here and in the US.The now 43-year-old mentor was the co-finals MVP of the 1996 San Beda Red Cubs team which won one 16 titles under legendary high school coach Ato Badolato.
Despite being the underdog, La Salle swept FEU in the 2000 finals for a third straight crown and then outlasted rival Ateneo in a heated three-game finale to win the Season 64 championship a year later.
