The UAAP-NCAA Press Corps revealed its first batch of awardees for the Collegiate Basketball Awards.
The Press Corps is rewarding both Aldin Ayo and Jamike Jarin as the Coach of the Year for this past season, as both guided their respective teams to championships.
Ayo continued his tradition of winning tournaments in his first year of charge. One season after taking his alma mater Letran back to the NCAA championship, he then leads La Salle back to the UAAP championship, doing so against archrivals Ateneo. In the process, he became the first coach to win the award for both leagues.
Jarin bounced back from falling short last year for San Beda by reclaiming the championship over Arellano in the NCAA. It would be his last title with the Red Lions, as he has since taken the helm of National University for the upcoming UAAP season.
Notable winners for annual award include Norman Black, Frankie Lim, Eric Altamirano, Boyet Fernandez, Louie Alas, Nash Racela, Ato Agustin, and Juno Sauler.
Also set to be handed out by the Press Corps are the SMART Player of the Year and the Collegiate Mythical Five presented by Mighty Sports. Other notable awards to be given out include Pivotal Player, Impact Player, Super Senior and Mr. Efficiency
The Collegiate Basketball Awards will take place on January 26, with the event being backed by SMART, Accel, Mighty Sports, and MJM Productions.
