Controversies

Gorayeb and volleyball referee Rodrigo Rojas were given a one-game suspension by the NCAA on December 15, 2015, after they involved in a "shouting" and "shoving" incident during the game between the Gorayeb-coached San Sebastian Stags and the defending NCAA women's volleyball champions Arellano Chiefs last December 12.[6]

He was also involved in a brawl with several players of Perpetual Help Altas basketball team and its coach Frankie Lim during a volleyball game in 2011 held at the San Beda Gym.[7]
