Willie Miller steps down as Letran Squires coach

After just one season, Willie Miller has stepped down as head coach of the Colegio de San Juan de Letran Squires.

Miller, however, will be relegated as consultant, while Knights head coach Allen Ricardo will handle the team in the interim.

Miller, who replaced Ricardo at the helm in NCAA Season 100, announced the development on Wednesday as he expressed his gratitude to the school for a "memorable" run with the Squires.

"Thank you for the chance and opportunity to coach, teach and lead Letran Squires," Miller said in a Facebook post.

"Nakakatuwa and memorable ang journey natin ng Season 100. I will cherish our time forever. Good luck sa mga mag-move up sa next level, and sa mga mag-stay pa sa high school basketball. Keep on working hard and stay disciplined. Do not listen to those who don't have your best interest at heart! Stay focused!"

Miller led the Squires to a Final Four appearance in the previous season with a 6-3 record after the elimination round. They, however, blew their twice-to-beat bonus after falling twice to La Salle Green Hills in the semifinals to end their three-peat bid.

Still, Miller, a two-time PBA MVP, is still thankful for the one-year run for the Squires, where he got to handle young talents like Daniel Padilla, Syrex Silorio, and Jhuniel Dela Rama.
