## Resource

Two young Ateneo Blue Eagles players drowned during a team-building swim, sparking outrage and accusations against former Tall Blacks coach Tab Baldwin. Baldwin’s estranged wife, Efi Kalogirou, claims she warned the university Baldwin posed a danger to children and fled with her kids in 2020 — only to be ignored. She calls the deaths preventable and says the school retaliated against her. Her daughter echoed the sentiment, saying basketball should be played on courts, not in the sea. The university denies players trained with ankle weights in the water, and authorities say the deaths were accidental — but a DOJ probe and safety review are now underway. Baldwin, a Hall of Fame coach, faces mounting pressure as one victim’s family seeks to block his departure from the country. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
