    Sep 12, 2021

    HEAD coach TY Tang has taken a leave of absence from St. Benilde while the NCAA season remains clouded in uncertainty.

    The soft-spoken mentor confirmed to Spin.ph that he and his family left for Canada last week in the hope of providing a better life for his kids there.

    "I'm working on making another base lang for the kids in the future," he said.

    Tang keeps options open

    Tang has yet to formally step down from his Blazers post, keeping his options open.

    "I took a leave of absence for the time being. I'm keeping my options open for when things open up there. It's really for the kids right now," he said.

    St. Benilde athletic director Dax Castellano has yet to issue an official statement on any plan to fill up the position.

    The school, which will serve as the hosts of the upcoming NCAA Season 97, is also yet to discuss the resumption of the next athletic calendar amid the pandemic.
