HIS family, his life.
Coach Jeffrey Perlas has stepped down as Lyceum tactician, citing the need for him to take care of his mother amid the return of collegiate training in a bubble.
“It’s a decision na pinag-isipan ko nang matagal because of my mom’s health issues. It’s been tough for me and my family the past couple of months,” Perlas told Malaya-Business Insight yesterday.
“Gusto ko lang na nandiyan ako kapag kinailangan nila ako,” he added.
Erstwhile assistant coach Gilbert Malabanan is set to take over from Perlas, who replaced Topex Robinson at the helm of the Pirates after the latter was named Phoenix Super LPG strategist in the PBA last year.
The Commission on Higher Education approved the guidelines for the resumption of face-to-face training last Monday, with the bubble training allowed at 50-percent capacity in places under Alert Level 2 and at full capacity at Alert Level 1.
Perlas admitted it’s hard to pass up on the opportunity to call the shots for Lyceum, but he is hoping to get another chance in the future.
