Former De La Salle Archer Dindo Pumaren will be coming back to his alma mater in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).

Fr. Bernie Oca, the De La Salle board representative, on Monday confirmed that Dindo will suit up as assistant to his brother Franz, the Archers’ basketball head mentor. Dindo will replace Tyrone Bautista.

Neither of the two Pumarens was available for comment. Fr. Oca, however, revealed that Dindo will attend his first practice on Tuesday.

Dindo resigned as University of the East mentor last December and was replaced by Lawrence Chongson. During the 2007-2008 season, the Red Warriors posted a rare 14-0 sweep during the eliminations but Dindo and his Warriors eventually bowed to La Salle and his brother in the finals.

Despite the off-court tussle between the Pumaren brothers, UAAP fans, especially those from La Salle, are now excited over the prospect of seeing the reunion of Franz and Dindo in the Archers’ bench during the 2009-2010 season.

Dindo and Franz played together for La Salle during the 85-86 season. Franz left the Archers the following season. -GMANews.TV

    On the other hand, welcome back to the la salle side once again dindo. its good that dindo decided to join franz. he will be a big help for the coach franz and the team. however, i wish dindo could have been the coach of CSB. i think he could help the other la salle team in the ncaa.

  20. TJ says:

    The Pumarens defenitely have work cut out for them this coming season following the departure of Casio and now Maierhofer. The Archers will now be led by veterans PJ Barua and James Mangahas who are entering just their 4th playing year with the team.

  21. ronn says:

    Once a Green Archer always a Green Archer. Welcome back Coach Dindo. I hope his recruits in Nokia-RP Youth will play for La Salle (should they passed the dreaded entrance exams).

  22. jam daddy says:

    The bullet in the midst of our arrows. hahaha interesting

  23. cool dude says:

    From what I heard, 5 mainstays of the RP Youth Team will play this coming UAAP season. This should be interesting. :)

    Welcome back Coach Dindo! La Salle will be a more formidable team with you on the bench. Maybe you can teach a thing or two to Atkins and Revilla.
