Coach Jong Uichico tweeted his apology past midnight.

Tonight, my emotions got the better of me like a father who cares about his sons. That does not excuse my actions and I apologize to everyone as in hindsight I should have not gotten involved. This is a painful but maybe necessary lesson for me.

Castro and the aforementioned players' remorseful tone contrasted with some of their teammates.

Terrence Romeo insisted he did nothing wrong.

Dun sa mga kapwa namin players na nag sasabing embarassing kami wala kaming paki alam sa inyo . Kami mag kaka teammate sa loob kailangan namin mag tulungan. Hindi namin pwede pabayaan yung isat isa. Kung embarassing kami sa mata niyo bat di kayo mag convert ng australian.

Kahit anong sabihin niyo nag lalaro kami para sa isat isa para sa kapwa natin pilipino higit sa lahat para sa bayan. Hindi niyo alam ang sacrifice namin Kung para sainyo mali tulungan namin yung kakampi namin sinasaktan problema niyo na yun basta kami walang iwanan tapos!!!

In an interview with the media, Matthew Wright said the episode was just an example of players having "each other's backs."

“Everyone knows we’re gracious hosts, but if you push us to a limit, there’s only so much we can do,” Wright said.

“I’m just happy that everyone stood up for each other.”
