Louie Alas apologizes for behavior in UAAP game

MANILA, Philippines — Ateneo Blue Eagles head coach Louie Alas on Tuesday apologized for his behavior at the conclusion of last Saturday’s UAAP game against the UP Fighting Maroons. Alas was involved in a heated confrontation at the end of Saturday’s Blue Eagles 82-74 loss against the Maroons. He was suspended for two UAAP games, as a result. “Regardless of the circumstances, my actions were inappropriate. I should have exercised greater restraint and better judgment. I take full responsibility for my conduct and accept the consequences,” Alas said in a statement posted on the Ateneo website. “I understand the disappointment my actions have caused, particularly among those who expect everyone representing Ateneo to uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship, respect, and self-discipline. These are expectations I share and deeply respect,” he added. Ateneo will next play the Adamson Soaring Falcons on Wednesday.
