Bal David resigns from UST head coaching post — report

After one season with the University of Santo Tomas, Bal David has stepped down from the men's basketball team head coaching post.

UST student publication The Varsitarian, citing sources, reported the development on Thursday.

David was announced as the España-based squad's new head coach in July 2022, just months before UAAP Season 85 commenced in October.

Under David's belt, UST opened Season 85 with a win against Adamson University, but lost the rest of its games in the season to end with a dismal 1-13 record.
