TAB Baldwin Criticizes "Third Team" After Triple Overtime Classic

TAB Baldwin, the coach of Ateneo, expressed his exhaustion and disappointment after a historic triple overtime game against University of Santo Tomas (UST), which ended in a 98-89 defeat for the Blue Eagles.

Although he did not explicitly mention the "third team" he was referring to, it is implied that he was talking about the referees who officiated the match. Baldwin stated,

There's a third team out there and I thought their performance was disgusting.

Despite the loss, Baldwin was proud of his team's performance, saying,

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.
