Alfredo Lorenzo "Pido" Mendoza Jarencio (born September 5, 1964) is a Filipino basketball coach and former professional player. He is the head coach for the UST Growling Tigers of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). He had coached UST previously from 2006 to 2013; he won the UAAP title in his first season and was named UAAP Coach of the Year. He is also the team manager for NorthPort Batang Pier of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and was their head coach on two stints.[1]

He played college basketball for the UST Growling Tigers and played in the PBA from 1986 to 2001. Known as "the Fireman", he distinguished himself as one of the league's best three-point shooters, especially in clutch situations. He has won three PBA championships: the 1985 Reinforced Conference with guest team Northern Cement, the 1987 Reinforced Conference with the San Miguel Beermen, and the 1997 Commissioner's Cup with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (then Gordon's Gin Boars). He spent the longest stint of his professional career with Ginebra (six seasons, 1992–1998) with whom he won the PBA Most Improved Player award in 1992 and was a two-time PBA All-Star. Other PBA franchises he played for were Purefoods, Pop Cola, Tanduay, and Great Taste. After retiring from playing, he became a coach and manager.
