Former UST Tigresses coach now at the Tamaraws' lair

Coach Shaq Delos Santos first steered the Tigresses to the 2009 National University Games,
then added the Shakey's V-League Season 7 first conference crown. UST won the 72nd UAAP women's volleyball plum then successfully defended the 2010 UniGames trophy.
Few months ago, news came out that UST Tigresses Head Coach Cesael "Shaq" Delos Santos resigned from his post. Reportedly, UST Athletics Director Father De Sagon didn't accept the former's resignation letter the first time, so they had a meeting to settle things out. Apparently, Coach Shaq expressed its "time to move on". Where is Coach Shaq heading now?

He's back where he truly belongs, in the Tamaraw lair. As an article by Lhea Bagona puts it, "He defanged himself to unleash the horns and get back to where he truly belongs knowing there is no place like home".

A former FEU Spiker, Delos Santos officially signed with FEU last April 1st and is returning to the land of green and gold, this time to beef up the coaching staff of the FEU Women's Volleyball Team,  despite previously losing prized player, former UAAP MVP Cherry Vivas as the latter transfers to National University.

"Shaq" was a BS Management Graduate of FEU and led the Tamaraw squad to a UAAP volleyball championship during his final playing year in 1999. Last March, his contract ended with University of Santo Tomas (UST). Before he decided to return, he had always kept in touch with his former Men's Volleyball mentor and now Lady Tamaraws Head Coach Nestor Pamilar.

Indeed, two forces will reunite this year to bring boost to the Lady Tams' UAAP 74 campaign, with the aim to bring back the women's volleyball crown to Morayta. At present, The FEU Volleyball Team is currently on the lookout for new talented recruits, in time for UAAP 74 Volleyball opening next semester.
