Sean Chambers debuts unique coaching method with photo boards, FEU loses

Former PBA legend Sean Chambers made his coaching debut for Far Eastern University (FEU) in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament, introducing unique photo boards featuring images of NBA players and former Alaska teammates like Johnny Abarrientos to call plays amid crowd noise.

Despite losing to Adamson University, 59-47, Chambers explained that these signs help him convey plays more effectively during games, a method inspired by American football where coaches use visual cues due to the loud stadium environment.

FEU rookie Veejay Pre acknowledged the pressure but expressed enthusiasm for continuing with this innovative coaching method, which Chambers plans to use throughout the season to familiarize his team faster and potentially confuse opponents.

Chambers emphasized that while the new way of play calls didn't bear fruit immediately, he vows his wards will be better moving forward and may change the set of placards for anti-play stealing purposes.

Adamson coach Nash Racela praised FEU's decision to hire Chambers, noting that patience will be key as the team grows under his guidance, with the Tamaraws hoping to revive their winning tradition in upcoming games.
