THE SKY has fallen on controversial Jose Rizal University cager John Amores.
Mr. Amores was recently slapped an indefinite suspension by the NCAA for his violent behavior during an ugly brawl that led to the league stopping the game and awarding the 71-51 win to College of St. Benilde at the Filoil EcoOil Centre on Tuesday.
The league also cracked the whip on several players by slapping two-game suspensions on Mr. Sangco and his CSB teammate Chris Flores for engaging in the fistfight and brawl and JRU’s William Sy and Ryan Arenal for committing disrespectful acts. “We’re not totally closing the door on him especially to his career. Justice tempered with mercy. We have to be Solomonic, opening the door for the player, however small,” said Mr. Calvo.
CSB coach Charles Tiu said they are mulling filing a case against Amores as well as the parents of Taine Davis and Jimboy Pasturan, who were punched on the face by Mr. Amores that resulted to the team sending them to the hospital for medical attention that same night.
