MANILA<\/strong> \u2014 The year 2017 in college basketball ended with a huge bang as reports broke out that coach Aldin Ayo left the De La Salle Green Archers for the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers.<\/p>\n

As the impact of the news spilled to 2018, the former Letran player turned to Twitter to speak about his side on this new development.<\/p>\n

“The reason why I kept mum is because of an agreement not to disclose any information before the 1st week of January or until the school makes its official statement. I am only breaking my silence since the news has come out earlier than expected and only after getting permission,” said Ayo in a statement via the social media site on the second night of the year.<\/p>\n

He talked on the mid-season report about some La Salle supporters expressing their concerns on how he coached the Green Archers.<\/p>\n

“We have different views in handling the team. I’ve always done what is necessary,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ayo thanked chief backer Danding Cojuangco, the team officials, and the La Sallian community for their support during his stint with the Archers, who won a UAAP basketball title under his helm.<\/p>\n

“The two years I have spent with the Archers are two well-spent years indeed,” he said.<\/p>\n

In a related development, La Salle is set to tap Louie Gonzalez, who was Ayo’s chief deputy during his stint with the team, as its new head coach.\u00a0(PNA)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
