The elder Pumaren, who led the program to back-to-back titles in 1989 and 1990, is now at the forefront of La Salle's continued growth as graduating stars Justine Baltazar and Aljun Melecio lead the way towards Season 83. Barring any roster changes, their core of Brandon Bates, Encho Serrano, Jordan Bartlett, Joaqui Manuel and Joel Cagulangan is expected to make more noise after a disappointing 7-7 finish last year.

Although Pumaren's previous 4-year UAAP stint with the UE Red Warriors was mired in mediocrity, he has since found success in Centro Escolar University, as he led the Scorpions to the 2019 NCRAA championship.
