FEU team owner Anton Montinola on Wednesday debunked rumors that Glenn Capacio was sacked at halftime of Game 2 of the UAAP senior men’s basketball finals against Ateneo and said Dr. Mikey Bengzon advised the Tamaraws coach to go to the hospital after a 150-100 reading of his blood pressure in the dugout.
“It was a high-pressure, high-intensity atmosphere,” said Montinola of last Thursday’s game which the Blue Eagles won, 65-62, to clinch the title at the Araneta Coliseum.

FEU says goodbye to embattled coach
source: Jonas Terrado | mb.com.ph
Far Eastern University formally accepted the resignation of Glenn Capacio as its head coach on Wednesday and is likely to form a search committee to find a suitable replacement to the one-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) winner.
Capacio announced last Monday that he’s stepping down as FEU coach after his failure to give his alma mater a championship after being swept by No. 2 seed Ateneo in their best-of-three championships.
The Tamaraws emerged as the top seed after topping the elims.
Athletic director Mark Molina issued a statement on Wednesday thanking Capacio for serving the school faithfully for four years where he brought the Tamaraws to three Final Four appearances.
Capacio also acted as assistant coach of the team for two years.
"FEU accepts the resignation of Glenn Capacio as head coach of the FEU Tamaraws," said Molina. "Coach Glenn gave his best to his alma matter the past six years (four as head coach) and we are thankful for this."
Capacio's decision came after he was discharged from the hospital on Sunday. He was rushed there when his blood pressure shot up during halftime of Game 2 against the Ateneo Blue Eagles. In that game, where the Tams lost 65-62, his assistant coaches led by Richie Ticzon and Louie Gonzales took over the chores where they pushed the Eagles to the limit.
Capacio was elevated to the head coaching ranks in 2007 after the school "disbanded" its team following a disappointing 2006 campaign.
For now, Capacio, who won the 1983 UAAP Most Valuable Player, will concentrate on his role as one of the assistant coaches of the Philippine Patriots in the AirAsia ASEAN Basketball League.

Richie Ticzon to coach Tams

Former Ateneo and PBA hotshot Richie Ticzon will handle the coaching chores for Far Eastern University when the Tamaraws compete in the University Games in Dumaguete City later this month.
Ticzon, who came in this year as one of the Tams’ assistant coaches, will take charge of the Tams’ Unigames’ bid on Oct. 24-30 following the resignation of coach Glen Capacio, according to FEU board representative Anton Montinola.
However, Montinola stressed that this does not necessarily mean Ticzon is now a shoo-in for the post vacated by Capacio, who quit after the top-seeded Tams’ failed bid to win the crown.
“The Unigames will be his (Ticzon’s) break-in stint,” Montinola told The STAR. “We still have to consider other options for the PCCL (Philippine Collegiate Champions League) in November and December. There’s no rush to decide now.”
Capacio, whose contract was good until the end of this month, formally resigned from his post of four years yesterday. Last week, the former King Tamaraw wasn’t able to finish calling the shots for the Tams in Game 2 against tormentor Ateneo as he was taken to the hospital at halftime due to hypertension.
“I’m okay now, although sometimes, I still feel a little dizzy. I have to rest and spend more time with my family,” Capacio said.
Although he’s taking time off basketball in the meantime, Capacio said he would willingly take the offer of Norman Black to be one of his assistants in the RP team to the 2011 Southeast Asian Games.
“Of course, I’ll take it because it’s an opportunity to serve our country and at the same time share your talent and expertise to help the boys be better players and person,” he said.
FEU, according to athletic director Mark Molina, has already accepted Capacio’s resignation.
“Coach Glen gave his best to his alma mater the past six years (four as head coach) and we are thankful for this. We wish him the best in his future endeavors,” Molina said.
Black, Capacio’s adversary in the UAAP finals, expressed surprise over Capacio’s departure from FEU.
“Glen is a personal friend. I’m a little bit sad about that considering his record in his four years as coach in the UAAP; he has a very good record, he’s won a lot more games than he lost,” Black said during the PSA Forum.
“Where I come from in the US, if you have the record that Glen has in college, normally you’ll keep your job for a long time. I guess here in the UAAP, there’s a lot of pressure in coaching and if you don’t win right away, they don’t have a lot of patience with you,” he added.
