TAB Baldwin's Reaction to the 3OT Classic
TAB Baldwin, the coach of Ateneo, expressed his thoughts after a historic triple overtime classic against University of Santo Tomas (UST) on Saturday.
Despite the Blue Eagles' 98-89 defeat, Baldwin praised his team's performance, but criticized "the third team" involved in the match.
There's a third team out there and I thought their performance was disgusting.
Although he did not explicitly name the "third team", it is implied that he is referring to the officiating crew. Baldwin was proud of his team's effort, despite being on the losing end for the second straight time in the UAAP Season 88 men's basketball tournament.
There were a lot of guys that were playing on fumes in that game. And some of them couldn't even get across the finish line because they had given everything they had to give and that's a great testament to the game of basketball.
