The UAAP is set to review footage of the heated confrontation involving Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles interim coach Louie Alas and University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons player Jacob Bayla following their Season 89 men’s basketball game.
The incident, which drew attention after the game, reportedly involved Alas repeatedly directing profanities at Bayla following the latter’s endgame dunk.
According to a league insider cited by Fastbreak columnist Homer Sayson, the UAAP will gather and examine video footage of the postgame altercation with possible suspensions and other disciplinary sanctions looming.
The investigation will particularly focus on determining whether physical contact took place between coaches and players during the incident.
The league’s review could determine whether Alas, Bayla or other individuals involved in the confrontation will face disciplinary action.
No official sanctions have been announced as the UAAP proceeds with its review of the incident as of this posting. (Adrian Co)
