Lim Altas consultant

MANILA, Philippines — Former pro player Frankie Lim will make a return to the NCAA after he was tapped as a consultant to the Perpetual Help team seeking its very first senior basketball championship.

“Yes, I was appointed as consultant by Perpetual Help as early as last month,” said Frankie Lim, who steered the San Beda Lions to four championships as a coach and was part of the squad as a player when it won the 1978 NCAA crown, yesterday.

Lim, however, needed to get an approval from the NCAA before he could officially assume his new position after he was indefinitely banned from the league following an altercation with San Sebastian volleyball coach Roger Gorayeb five years ago.

While Gorayeb has served out his one-year ban, Lim’s ban was never really technically lifted.

But last Wednesday, sources said the Policy Board has officially lifted the suspension of Lim, making him eligible to handle any post related to the NCAA.
