'Kapag mayroon tayong mga foreign players, foreign athletes, maganda sa liga natin, kasi umaangat ang level of competition,' Dimaunahan said.
MANILA -- For National University Lady Bulldogs head coach Aris Dimaunahan, the presence of foreign players in the UAAP women's basketball competition is good for the league.
Dimaunahan praised 6-foot-2 Lady Tamaraws big Josee Kaputu for making it difficult for the Lady Bulldogs despite the lopsided scoreline. Although recruiting foreign players, usually centers, has been practiced by collegiate teams since the 2000s to shore up their respective frontlines, it was only until the late-2010s where squads from the UAAP women's basketball competition kept up.
Dimaunahan went on to describe Kaputu as a different breed in terms of her offensive capabilities which made it difficult for NU to contain her, given her size.
