PBA to fine Rain or Shine P2 Million for near-walkout (VIDEO)
“Pinagbabayad kami ng PBA ng P2 million.” Rain or Shine team owner Terry Que made this disclosure after his team’s Game Six defeat in the PLDT Home DSL Philippine Cup finals against the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers that saw the Elasto Painters threaten to walk out of the game.
After a foul call on Rain or Shine center JR Quinahan at the 11:39 mark of the second quarter, Elasto Painters coach Yeng Guiao led his team off the court and back into the locker room.
The squad eventually returned to the court and the game resumed with the Elasto Painters trailing, 30-17.
Que’s co-owner Raymond Yu said the officiating spurred the Elasto Painters move.
“We were very consistent in the first five games, pero yung sistema ng tawagan hindi naging pareho sa Game Six,” Yu told InterAksyon. “Kaya sa tingin ko, na-frustrate si Coach Yeng.”
Under PBA rules, a team that walks off the court has a 15-minute grace period to return to the court.
In 2010, Talk ‘N Text walked out of its Philippine Cup quarterfinals match against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. That resulted in a P1-million fine.
After that incident, the PBA Board of Governors’ increased the penalty for a walkout to P10 million.
“Tinaasan talaga namin yan kasi kung hindi mo tataasan yung fine, anybody can walk out of the game,” said Robert Non, who represents Ginebra on the PBA board. “At the same time, pwedeng gawing ploy yun ng mga teams.”
Guiao said walking off the court was just a statement against the inconsistent officiating in Game Six.
“This game particularly, we had to go to the extreme just to make a point,” he said.
Guiao is no stranger to the tactic. In 2006, he led his Red Bull squad out of the court in a semifinals game against San Miguel Beer before eventually returning. That earned the squad a P500,000 fine, while Guiao was slapped a P100,000 penalty.
“If we hadn’t done that it would have been worse. We felt that the calls took the initiative out of our game. We recovered, but it already took a lot of us emotionally and psychologically. Ganun talaga. We let the audience judge for themselves. Nakita naman ng mga tao yan dahil nakakaintindi naman sila ng basketball.”
According to Guiao, there was a big difference in terms of calls in Game Six compared to the first five games.
“Malaki. They were allowing a lot of physicality pagkatapos kapag nagkakabanggan sila foul, kami hindi,” said Guiao, who got a second technical foul in the dying seconds of the game to earn an ejection.
“I thought that foul called against Beau Belga on Ian Sangalang was crucial. It was a clean block. Then yung sumampa yung bola sa top ng board, automatic dapat na bola namin. What’s important is they converted it when we should have gotten the call.
“Yung kay Jervy (Cruz) nung huli yung follow up niya, obvious foul hindi rin tinawagan. Paul (Lee) got two quick fouls very early in the game. Si Jeff (Chan) binangga ni PJ Simon habang dumedepensa then si Jeff pa yung foul.”
“So when you see things like that, it takes a lot out of you, emotionally. That what I was saying na mararamdaman mo na. You have a very little chance of winning a game.”
