Players, coaches suspended

/ 09:10 AM May 17, 2011

THE HAMMER has been swiftly lowered on coaches Pido Jarencio of Max Bond Super Glue and Luigi Trillo of Cebuana Lhuillier and two players as they were suspended for one game in the aftermath of the bench-clearing skirmish that spoiled the two teams encounter in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup last Thursday.

Fines totalling P64,500 was also imposed by commissioner Chito Salud, who summoned all those involved in the incident at his office on Monday.

Junjun Cabatu of Max Bond Super Glue and Ariel Mepana of Cebuana Lhuillier also drew one-game suspensions for taking a cheap shot at each other that set off the scuffle and emptied both benches. They were also fined P5,000 each.

In the case of the two coaches, Salud said Jarencio and Trillo committed an act classified as “conduct unbecoming of a head coach” for engaging each other in a heated verbal and physical altercation in full view of the public. The two coaches were also fined P10,000 apiece.
