Richard Goldwin Yu Monteverde (born June 6, 1971), sometimes spelled as Goldwyn, is a Filipino basketball coach currently serving as the head coach for the UP Fighting Maroons.
He formerly coached the NU Bullpups (National University's junior basketball team) and Adamson Baby Falcons [1] (Adamson University's junior basketball team).
Monteverde first coached in the high school level at Saint Stephen's High School in 1991. During this time, his assistant was Bonnie Tan, [2] future NCAA winning coach of Letran Knights. [3] Monteverde coached the "A" team of the school starting in 1993, and led them to five Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball League (MMTLBL) titles in the next decade. He then coached Chiang Kai-shek College in the MMTLBL and also led them into championships. [2]
Monteverde coached the Adamson Baby Falcons and created a winning culture, with the Baby Falcons qualifying on his first season in 2015, then missing the playoffs in 2016. In 2017, Adamson won 13 games in 2016, but the UAAP reversed those wins as the league ruled Adamson player Encho Serrano to be ineligible, eliminating them from contention. [1]
Monteverde then replaced Jeff Napa as NSNU Bullpups head coach. [4] He led the Bullpups to three Finals appearances and two UAAP Juniors basketball championships from 2018 to 2020. He was elevated to the seniors' NU Bulldogs team in May 2020. [5] However, several players from the Bulldogs parted ways with the team, all with the blessing of Monteverde. [6] Weeks later, Monteverde resigned as Bulldogs coach without coaching a game. [7]
Monteverde was hired by the UP Fighting Maroons in 2021, replacing Bo Perasol who had been promoted to the front office of the team. [8] Together with Carl Tamayo, his former player at NSNU Bullpups, [9] they led the team to their first championship in since 1986, back when Monteverde himself played. [10] He led UP back to the Finals for Season 85 (2022), but they lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles. [11] Monteverde led UP to another finals appearance in Season 86 (2023), but lost to the De La Salle Green Archers. [12] In Season 87 (2024), he successfully led UP in clinching the championship title defeating the De La Salle Green Archers. [13]
