What really happened before the melee

Makes me sick to see a team that has clearly been coached to play dirty, but those refs were atrocious. Game could have been kept under control with just a few whistles.

I'm an FEU alumnus and an avid supporter of the Tamaraws basketball team for ages, but I’m done with this guys (Ron Dennison) on court transgression and dirty tactics. There’s a big difference between being absurdly competitive and being too aggressive and always going out looking to start a fight or hurt somebody in every game he’s in. Whatever the case may be there is no place in the game for these types of actions. I don’t respect players like this, too dirty for the game and they must kick him off this team.

All of the officials that worked this game should be fired, and never allowed to referee another basketball game. They allowed both teams to get away with numerous cheap shots and unnecessary foul’s. This game was a disgrace.

I kept turning the volume up and then a commercial came on and I crapped my pants.

I'm a basketball fan but that number 7 of FEU should't be playing in the league. He's a disgrace how the coach and referees tolerating his dirty plays. And I salute LaSalle's #6 for his patience is incredibly well.

“The two-step, lead-with-your-foot closeout is not appropriate,” Popovich. This Dennison person can seriously hurt another player, a couple of times Ricci landed on his foot. While I agree the referee were not able to control the game, but this Dennison guy was committing aggressive unsportsmanlike conduct whenever the refs are nor looking. This guy is dangerous and dirty, #UAAP should put a check on this guy before he injures a player.

Thats 80"s basketball! Love it

I'm a graduate of FEU long time ago, this is the first time I've seen Tamarraw basketball players behave badly and play dirty as well as dangerously. Disappointing, big time! No class at all. The blame should go first to the referees for not doing their job properly, call a technical foul and throw them out for unsportsmanlike behavior. Next to blame is the coaching staffs of the FEU team for tolerating dirty plays, if you don't say anything it means you are encouraging them to continue what they are doing. Getting into a players head is different from trying to hurt them. This game apparently just wasted everybody's time and enjoyment to watch a basketball game from teams coming from Manila. The UAAP committee can review all the video coverages from this and start throwing out suspensions and penalties (money) to teach everybody a lesson.

FEU and its coaching staff and team management should discipline their players. Unless the instruction came from them...hmmm...historically knowing FEU...your guess is as good as mine 🤔

Amazing algorithm made me watch this video.

That court is niiice!!!

the officiating allowed it to escalate and even put the young players in danger, i understand if the refs are letting them play physical but extra motions and the landing spot fouls are crucial calls to ensure the safety of all players, its disgusting to see a young player to play so dirty at this level, that Dennison kid has no right to be on court with those kind of antics, he trying to hurt the dude hes defending because hes being outplayed and getting hes ass handed to him.

The referees let the game get out of control. I know that the video was selectively edited to go after one player. However, there were multiple fouls on nearly every possession and on both teams.

Watching this for the first time I blame the refs and the coaches for allowing such dirty play. There should have been ejections.

This is where it starts. From his coach and parents, turning a blind.

The dawn of a new martial art: Basket "full contact"

Team in green played dirty as hell. Coach either trained it, or failed to correct the behavior.

There is so much with this I can't imagine what was going on with that group of referees. I think that game was above their referring level. Those guys missed and allowed so much that I can't see that group refereeing on that level for awhile. They allowed dirty play through out . Elections , technicals, were missed. It comes down to calling what you see and being confident doing it . When a Referee or group of Referees a game to move in this direction they bear alot of responsibility if someone gets seriously injured. Coaches should be held responsible as well as the players. They should have ejected players in this game. A kid kicks another kid is straight up ejection. Send that message and and get all that bull crap out of the game. I will tell players in pregame that unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. I'm not a hard nose but if you cross that line you just earned what you got. I just think those guys were above their heads. Players will adjust to how you call the game. I like to let them play but within the rules. Know what you are dealing with before time. Do these teams have a history of playing rough, what are their records (1st and 2nd place) are they physical or finesse or a mixture. The intimidating factor maybe involved. Look access and then adjust. Any foul( push after the whistle)is a technical. Call it to settle that crap down or get it out of the game.

I feel like im watching the Ginebra bad boys of the early 90s.

That coach should been taken his license.
