UAAP: Gani Stevens eyes bigger role with QMB now gone
The University of the East (UE) Red Warriors are aiming for a revival in UAAP Season 88 under new head coach Chris Gavina, with the initial goal of making it to the Final Four.
Gavina, who replaced Jack Santiago in February, brings experience from mentoring Mahindra (KIA) and Rain or Shine in the PBA, as well as the Taichung Suns in Taiwan's T1 League, where he was the first Filipino coach.
He also led the Taiwan Mustangs to a championship in The Asian Tournament last year, a team that also assisted Gilas Pilipinas in tune-up games before the Paris Olympic qualifiers.
Gavina's mission is realistic, acknowledging the challenges of reviving the Red Warriors' winning tradition from his professional league experience.
He emphasizes instilling winning habits and core values such as courage, respect, positive attitude, discipline, and grit.
