A few days after the basket-brawl between Gilas Pilipinas and Australia Boomers, most of those who were involved have aired their sides on social media. Some issued their apologies to the other team and to the fans. Others provided more explanation of what has happened during the game.
Coach Chot Reyes similarly issued an apology via a post on Instagram.
He said:
The past few days have been extremely difficult for us at GILAS. Each player & coach who got involved in the incident has apologized, and as Head Coach, so have I. Again, to those we have offended, we are sorry. To those who have stood by us, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our prayer is that we come out better and stronger from this as we affirm that it is our honor to fight for our country til we can’t fight anymore, with all our hearts. Laban. Pilipinas. Puso #???❤
He included a photo of the Gilas Pilipinas team with the post.
