Career

edit

Dandan, nicknamed Ricky, was born on 9 December 1961.[1][2]

Dandan played for the UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP until 1985 under coach Joe Lipa.[3]

In 1998, Dandan started his coaching career in Manila Metrostars.[4] He also worked as head coach of Ateneo Blue Eagles' PBL teams.[5] He later worked as an assistant coach for Air21 Express[4] and Powerade Tigers,[6] and on its successor team GlobalPort Batang Pier.[7]

While at Powerade, he served as head coach of his alma mater UP Fighting Maroons.[6] But due to multiple dismal finishes, he was replaced.[8][9]

Dandan also served as lead assistant for Columbian Dyip, but after Chris Gavina resigned after two games, he was appointed head coach.[10] Due to two low-ranking finishes in the conferences he coached in, he resigned in order to focus as an assistant to Bo Perasol for the Maroons.[11][12]

He last coached for the Bataan Risers in the MPBL.[13]

Personal life and death

edit

Dandan was married to Annielou and had two children.[14] He died from renal cell carcinoma at the Philippine General Hospital in Manila on 13 November 2024, aged 62.[15][16]
