Tang first Trinidad and Tobago coach to win NCAA Division 1 crown
Jerome Tang
JEROME Tang became the first TT coach to win a NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division 1 Men’s Basketball Title. Tang was born in San Fernando, but migrated with his parents to St Croix, United States Virgin Islands, until age 10, when his family moved to Texas, US.
Tang, who is the associate head coach, played a key role in Baylor University Bears first men’s basketball championship. The second-ranked Bears, with a dominant 86-70 win, denied the previously unbeaten Bulldogs a perfect season in the NCAA final on April 5. With the loss, the first ranked Gonzaga missed the opportunity to become the second college team since Indiana Hoosier to win the title, without losing a game.

With Covid-19 cases dropping this week, government is continuing to push for a return to normal, announcing that starting next month vaccinated travelers will only have to wait until getting their arrival test results before exploring the territory.
