Herons Spread Their Wings: UMak Shakes Up Coaching Staff for High-Stakes NAASCU Return

​The University of Makati (UMak) is making power moves. In a bold bid to climb the ranks of the NAASCU leaderboard, the Herons have announced a major restructuring of their coaching ranks—a strategic "changing of the guard" designed to inject fresh energy into both their Seniors and Juniors programs.

​The Veteran Anchor: Noy Pido Remains at the Helm

​Stability meets ambition as Coach Noy Pido retains his position as the commander-in-chief of the Seniors Team. A cornerstone of the Herons’ athletic identity, Pido’s tenure has been defined by grit and tactical discipline. As the new season looms, the mission is clear: transform "competitive" into "championship-caliber."

​The Strategic Pivot: Pascasio Moves to Senior Support

​In a move that bolsters the Seniors' tactical depth, Mike Pascasio transitions from leading the Juniors to becoming the Assistant Coach for the Senior squad. Pascasio isn't just joining the bench; he’s bringing a masterclass in player development. His intimate knowledge of the Herons’ pipeline ensures that the transition from high school standout to collegiate powerhouse is seamless.

​A New Era for the Juniors: Nabor and Gaco Take Charge

​The future of UMak basketball is now in the hands of Ryan Nabor, who officially steps up as the Head Coach of the Juniors Team. Known for his sharp eye for untapped talent and high-octane coaching style, Nabor is tasked with molding the next generation of Heron legends.

​To ensure the Juniors have every advantage, the university has tapped Jerwin Gaco as Assistant Coach. Gaco’s reputation for fostering mentorship and technical skill-building makes him the perfect wingman for Nabor. Together, they represent a formidable duo dedicated to building a powerhouse foundation.

​The Scouting Report: A Program Reborn

​This isn't just a personnel change; it’s a statement of intent. By reshuffling their technical bench, the University of Makati is signaling to the rest of the league that they are no longer content with the status quo.

​"These changes bring a fusion of veteran wisdom and fresh perspective," the university noted. "We aren't just preparing for a season; we are building a legacy."

​What to Expect This Season:

​Synergy: A tighter connection between the Juniors and Seniors programs.

​Intensity: Fresh defensive schemes under Nabor and Gaco.

​Leadership: A battle-tested Senior squad led by the Pido-Pascasio brain trust.

​As the Herons prepare to take flight, one thing is certain: the NAASCU competition better be ready for the storm brewing in Makati.

6th pre-season game, Not the result we’re working for but MPBL pre-season 2026 is about learning, adjusting, and growing. Every mistake is a lesson. Every loss is fuel.

We’re building chemistry. We’re fixing our gaps. We’re trusting the process. The scoreboard doesn’t define us our work ethic does.
