THE TARGET of the veteran mentor Frankie Lim will bring the winning culture to the University of Perpetual Help Altas as a champion coach at San Beda in their game against the upcoming 94th NCAA senior basketball tournament which will be open on July 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena Pasay City, Philippines.
"We're not reaching for the moon, we just want to bring back the competitiveness and the winning culture too," said Lim, replacing former coach Nosa Omorogbe from a blistering end to the previous season.
Lim hopes he will be able to bring Altas to the peak of success as he did in San Beda in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011.
Perpetual has never won any senior basketball ever since they joined the league 34 years ago.
And Lim hopes that the Perpetual will try hard to be on the championship game.
"That is everyone's hope," Lim said.
"We're in a rebuilding process and we have more new players than old ones. So our experience in the PBA D-League and Filoil somehow helped us facilitate the transition while giving the players confidence for the coming NCAA wars, " Lim added.
Perpetual Help will launch the veteran line-up headed by the Nigerian center Prince Eze with AJ Coronel, Anton Tamayo and Rome Mangalino.
They include transferees Ton Ton Peralta from Cagayan de Oro, Kim Aurin from St. Francis, Jerome Pasia from PMMS, Carl Soriano, Edgar Charcos from the University of the East and Kit Jimenez from Far Eastern University.
Luke Sese (San Beda), Jielo Razon (Perpetual) and Jasper Cuevas (Perpetual) are also in the line-up.
"Our target is next year and two years from now because we have several of my recruits coming in," Lim said.
