Nagbitiw bilang trainer ng Philippine women's national volleyball team ang decorated mentor na si Tai Bundit.

Kinumpirma ito ni Philippine National Volleyball Federation(PNVF) national team commission chairman Tony Boy Liao noong Miyerkules ng gabi. Ayon kay Liao, nagbitiw ang Thai coach sa kanyang puwesto upang makapiling ang kanyang pamilya na nasa Bangkok.

Sa pinakahuling balita sa Thailand mayroon ng mahigit 20,128 kaso ng COVID-19 at nag- average na 21,784 noong nakaraang linggo. At ang sitwasyong malayo siya sa kanyang pamilya ang naging dahilan para magbitiw si Bundit. “Yes, he gave me his resignation letter last August 15. Coach Tai cited family reasons because he won’t be able to concentrate to coach the national team with the rising cases in Thailand,” ani Liao. “Coach Tai’s kids are still young with one still in high school while the twins are still in grade school,” dagdag nito.

Ayon pa kay Liao, ngayong araw na ito (Biyernes) ang pagbalik ni Bundit sa Thailand. “He already tested negative in the RT-PCR test. He is leaving for Thailand tomorrow,” wika pa ni Liao. Wala ring kasiguruhan kung babalik pa ang Thai mentor para muling mag-coach sa Creamline sa second conference ng PVL sa Oktubre. “He won’t be able to coach Creamline as well for the possible second conference. He will wait for things to clear up in Thailand,” sabi ni Liao.

Ginabayan ni Bundit ang Cool Smashers sa runner-up finish sa katatapos na 2021 PVL Open Conference para sa unang season ng kauna-unahang women's professional volleyball league sa bansa.
