Monday, March 31, 2008 US-based coach to conduct seminar
MULTI-TITLED Ateneo de Davao High School and now-Chicago based high school coach Ronel Leuterio will be back in Davao City for a free two-day BAP Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas seminar for coaches that will focus on his nearly perfected brand of play called the "Spread Offense."
The "Spread Offense" is a result of a three-year work of Leuterio who attended numerous seminars under US college coaches.
The seminar is on April 10 to 11 tentatively at the Barangay 5-A Bankerohan gym because the Davao City Recreation Center will not be available on the said dates.
Leuterio, who was assistant coach also of the Professional Davao Eagles in the MBA and best remembered for mentoring the Ateneo de Davao High School team that won the Milo Best national title in Cebu, said that the seminar is open to all coaches in Davao.
"It is an offense that is out of the box, something unconventional. The positions are different or at least they are viewed in a different way," Leuterio said in an email from Chicago.
He said basketball is usually thought of in terms of point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center.
