Out of 8 competing teams in the UAAP, 5 teams has changed their head coach starting Season 79.

- Ateneo Blue Eagles: Long-time assistant coach Sandy Arespacochaga will mentor the Blue Eagles starting this season, replacing Bo Perasol who moved to the UP Fighting Maroons.[13] Arespacochaga will be assisted by Philippines men's national basketball team head coach Tab Baldwin as a team consultant. With Baldwin seen calling out the plays, and other teams complaining about his exemption from receiving technical fouls, the UAAP Board subsequently ordered him designated as Ateneo's coach, making him eligible to receive technical fouls.[14]
- De La Salle Green Archers: Erstwhile NCAA champion coach Aldin Ayo of the Letran Knights was named as head coach of the Green Archers, replacing resigned head coach Juno Sauler.[15]
- UP Fighting Maroons: Former Ateneo Blue Eagles head coach Bo Perasol returned to his alma mater as the new head coach of the Fighting Maroons, replacing Renzy Bajar who handled the team in Season 78.[16]
