LOOK, REF! Aldin Ayo (R) hands glasses to a game referee. Josh Albelda/Rappler
MANILA, Philippines – DLSU Green Archers head coach Aldin Ayo was ejected in the second quarter of his team’s game against the UE Red Warriors on Wednesday, September 28, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Ayo, who was clearly unhappy with a non-call on what he felt was a foul on his point guard Thomas Torres by UE big Wilson Bartolome, got the eyeglasses of his assistant coach Siot Tanquingcen, walked to a game official on the baseline, and tried to put on the glasses on the referee.
Ayo then received two technical fouls and was ejected from the playing court. Under UAAP rules, a player or coach who is ejected is automatically suspended in his team’s next game, unless an appeal reverses the punishment after review.
If Ayo is suspended, he will miss La Salle’s game against Ateneo on Sunday, October 2.
As of posting time, La Salle leads UE at halftime. – Rappler.com
