UAAP Media.MANILA — National University assistant coach Paul Du has been suspended from all basketball-related activities for the remainder of UAAP Season 89 following an incident involving University of Santo Tomas assistant coach Arsenio Dysangco.

The UAAP Basketball Commissioner’s Office handed down the suspension on Monday, saying Du “delivered a forceful elbow” to Dysangco during the post-game handshake line following NU’s game against UST on Saturday, October 10, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The incident caused Dysangco to fall to the floor and require medical attention.

The suspension takes effect immediately and covers all basketball-related activities, including 5-on-5 and 3×3 competitions across all divisions, until the official end of the season.

The Commissioner’s Office also noted that the UAAP Board may impose additional sanctions over the incident.

On the court, the Growling Tigresses defeated the Lady Bulldogs, 90-66, to remain unbeaten after three games and hand NU its first loss in as many outings.
