    The school confirmed the news on Tuesday night as the Red Lions embark on a fresh start under the former Ateneo standout this upcoming NCAA Season 98.

    He previously served as an assistant in Ateneo and currently is a deputy for Chot Reyes in TNT Tropang Giga.

    Escueta will start calling the shots for San Beda in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup with its first game set this Sunday against La Salle.
