The league also informed the Elasto Painters that referee Emmanuel Tankion, who missed the call, has been suspended for 10 playdates because of the error.
Rain or Shine team executive Mamerto Mondragon confirmed the news to InterAKTV.
Sundov’s final attempt was foiled by the Aces, leading to a loose ball recovery. Cyrus Baguio capped the play with a buzzer-beating layup that gave Alaska the win.Elasto Painters coach Yeng Guiao asked for a review of the play, contending that Sundov was hit more than once on the play.
“Parang ang nangyayari referees na yung nagdi-decide ng outcome because of the judgment call or non-call,” said Guiao.
“I think substantial yung ipinakita naming mga evidence that Bruno was hit several times and no foul was called against him.”
Guiao said he wasn’t protesting the reversal of the result, but said it’s up to the PBA to clarify its stance on the rules about whether an official should call a foul or not.
“Parang ang nangyayari kasi, referees lang ang nakakaalam how a foul is beign called or not,” Guiao added. “They should give clearer definition how a foul is being called based on the rule we’re implementing right now.”
The coach added that the PBA should take it upon itself to educate not just the teams, but the public too.
“Kasama rito yung mga audience. They have the right to be educated how a foul is being called or not called. They should know bad officiating from good officiating in the same way they should know what’s a good game and a bad game,” he said.
“Gusto natin ng consistent officiating. Ayaw naman natin na magiging masaya tayo dahil nakinabang tayo sa bad officiating dahil you know pwede ring mangyari sa iyo yan na ikaw naman nasa receiving end ng bad officiating. Everyone has the right to know.”
