In one sports column, it was reported that Pido Jarencio used to warm the bench under Norman Black's San Miguel team when Pido was still a rookie. Today, Pido proved to Norman that young players and a rookie coach can also win a basketball championship.

UST despite the odds beat Ateneo, 76-74 to win this year's the UAAP crown. Pido never lost confidence on his ward and his players awarded him with championship on his rookie year. This may not be the last for the former Ginebra Gin king.

Cheers to the UST Growling Tigers.
