Huling game suspension ni Perasol inalis na

INALIS na ni University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball commissioner Jensen Ilagan ang ikatlo at huling game suspension kay University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons head coach Dolreich ‘Bo’ Perasol.

Ito ay matapos ang miting sa pagitan nina Perasol at Ilagan nitong nakaraang Sabado, Oktubre 12, kung saan ang Fighting Maroons mentor ay humingi ng paumanhin sa liga pati na kay referee Jaime Rivano.

“Last Saturday was the first time our office heard directly from Coach Bo and we appreciate his sincerity and evident humility in expressing his regret regarding the incident between him and referee Rivano which happened last September 29,” sabi ni Ilagan.

“Coach Bo emphasized how he deeply regretted his actions towards the official and extended his apology towards the UAAP Board, organization, and the entire community.”

Sa pag-alis ng huling game suspension kay Perasol maaari na siyang makabalik sa laro ng UP kontra University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers ngayong Miyerkules, Oktubre 16, sa SM Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.

Suportado naman ng liga ang desisyon ni Ilagan na alisin na ang ban kay Perasol.

“The UAAP, through the Board of Managing Directors and Board of Trustees, maintains that it will support and respect the Office of the Commissioner with regard to any technical concern,” sabi ni Executive Director Rebo Saguisag.

“It is also well within the Commissioner’s power to reconsider on the ground of newly discovered evidence and/or developments such as availing in this case.”

Matatandaan na sa laro ng UP at Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles noong Setyembre 29, napatawan si Perasol ng dalawang technical foul may 6:23 pa sa ikatlong yugto ng laban.

Nagpamalas sa nasabing laro si Perasol ng “continuous flagrant acts of aggression” sa harap ni Rivano at ito ay nagresulta ng three-game ban.
