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 played with Benjie Paras, and Ronnie Magsanoc in UP Fighting Maroons coached by Joe Lipa and won the title in 1986.[2]
Monteverde first coached in the high school level at Saint Stephen's High School in 1991. During this time, his assistant was Bonnie Tan, 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.[4]
Monteverde coached the Adamson Baby Falcons and created a winning culture, as the team qualified in every Juniors' Basketball Final Four appearances from 2014 to 2017.
Monteverde then replaced Jeff Napa as NSNU Bullpups head coach.[5] He led the Bulldogs to three Finals appearances and two UAAP Juniors basketball championships from 2017 to 2020. He was elevated to the seniors' NU Bulldogs team in May 2020.[6] However, several players from the Bulldogs parted ways with the team, all with the blessing of Monteverde.[7] Weeks later, Monteverde resigned as Bulldogs coach without coaching a game.[8]
Monteverde was hired by the UP Fighting Maroons in 2021, replacing Bo Perasol who had been promoted to the front office of the team.[9] Together with Carl Tamayo, his former player at NU Bullpups,[10] they led the team to their first championship since 1986, back when Monteverde himself played.[11] He led UP back to the Finals for Season 85, but they lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles.[12]
