Coaching changes
Bong dela Cruz replaced Pido Jarencio as the head coach of the Growling Tigers senior men's basketball team on March 27, 2014. The coaching change was announced by Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) secretary and UAAP board representative Ms. Gilda Kamus following Jarencio's resignation in January.[4]
Jarencio, the Growling Tigers coach for eight years who led the team to the UAAP title in his rookie year in 2006, signed a two-year contract as head coach of GlobalPort in the Philippine Basketball Association.[5]
Dela Cruz was a point guard of the Glowing Goldies in 1988 before he transferred to the Adamson Falcons to join former high school teammates Giovanni Pineda, Gerardo Hipolito, Manuel Cucio, Marlou Aquino, and Christopher de Leon. Together with EJ Feihl, the Golden Nuggets juniors team was once regarded as the tallest basketball team in the country.[6]
After his college playing days, he became a coach in the Philippine Basketball League, the National Basketball Conference, and Liga Pilipinas. He was hired as an assistant coach of the Growling Tigers beginning in Season 75. Aside from UST, he was also an assistant coach for the Enderun Titans under former FEU Tamaraws player Pipo Noundou.[7]
Injuries
Fourth year forward Kevin Ferrer's season was cut short after only eight games after fracturing his left hand during practice prior to their second-round match against the FEU Tamaraws.[8]
Karim Abdul missed their game against the UE Red Warriors in the first round after being confined in the hospital from dehydration due to a viral infection.[9]
