Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 16) — Rajko Toroman has been tapped by College of Saint Benilde (CSB) to serve as a team consultant in the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Season 99.
“I’m absolutely thrilled; it’s coming full circle for me. I’ve always wanted to work with him again because he’s like a father figure to me,” CSB head coach Charles Tiu said in a statement.
The 68-year-old Serbian was former head coach of Gilas Pilipinas from 2009 to 2011, the early years of the renaissance of Philippine basketball on the international stage.
Toroman then went on to coach Petron and Barako Bull in the PBA where Tiu was part of his coaching staff.
Toroman will be joining Paolo Layug, Carlo Tan, Gabby Severino, Marvin Bienvenida, and JC Cullar on Tiu’s staff.
