UP coach alleges La Salle head coach spat during UAAP finals

The UP-La Salle coaches' commotion during their recent UAAP finals rematch is dominating headlines and social media discussions.

UP guard Reyland Torres alleged that La Salle head coach Topex Robinson spat on his shoulder, leading to a heated exchange between the coaching staffs.

Francis Lopez, a UP forward, commented on social media defending his team's actions and challenging La Salle to address their behavior.

Both teams engaged in a shouting match after Torres reported the alleged incident, but cooler heads prevailed until the end of the game.

UP has filed a complaint with the UAAP regarding the issue, and both parties are set to be summoned by a subcommittee of the UAAP board of managing directors for a meeting and written statement.

Lopez emphasized that basketball is a physical sport and urged players to humble themselves and play it right.

Both teams are set to face each other again in the second round of eliminations before potentially meeting in the Final Four or finals.
