Ten Gilas Pilipinas players got suspended from international play for figuring in the infamous brawl that marred the FIBA World Cup Asia qualifier match between the Philippines and Australia last July 2 at the Philippine Arena.
FIBA, the world governing body for basketball, handed down the decision on Thursday, July 19, days after the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) and Basketball Australia sent their official reports on the incident.
Terrence Romeo, Jayson Castro, Calvin Abueva, Andray Blatche, Roger Pogoy, Troy Rosario, Japeth Aguilar, Carl Bryan Cruz, Matthew Wright and Jio Jalalon will serve their respective suspensions for their involvement in the full-blown melee.
Abueva will serve the longest suspension with 6 games while Pogoy, Cruz and Jalalon will each serve a 5-game ban.
Castro, Romeo, Blatche Rosario got suspended for 3 games each while Aguilar and Wright got banned for a game each.
Nine Gilas players were thrown out of the game, which saw the Philippines lose by default after not having enough personnel on the court while Jalalon was seen landing a punch on Nathan Sobey's head.
Only June Mar Fajardo, Gabe Norwood and Baser Amer were not ejected during the match, and thus, spared from further FIBA sanctions.
Some of Gilas' coaching staff did not go scot-free from the FIBA decision.
Gilas head coach Chot Reyes will serve a one-game suspension and shall pay a disciplinary fine of 10,000 Swiss francs (approx. P535,000) while deputy coach Jong Uichico will serve a 3-game suspension for joining the Filipino mob that mauled Chris Goulding.
The SBP, meanwhile, will pay a disciplinary fine of 250,000 Swiss francs (approx. P13.37 million) for the unsportsmanlike behavior of its delegation members and of its public, as well as for insufficient organization of the game.
FIBA, through a press release sent to the media, stated that the Philippines will play the next home game behind closed doors while a ban for two more home games has been placed under a probationary period of 3 years.
In the Aussie side, Daniel Kickert will serve a 5-game suspension, Thon Maker will serve a 3-game suspension while Goulding will serve a one-game suspension.
Sobey, despite getting thrown out of the game, did not receive any sanction.
Basketball Australia shall pay a disciplinary fine of 100,000 Swiss francs (approx. P5.34 million) for the unsportsmanlike conduct of its players and for ripping the FIBA-approved stickers at the Philippine Arena on the eve of the game.
If there is a silver lining in the decision, the suspended players' PBA and National Basketball League careers are not affected by the suspension, according to a report by Fox Sports Australia's Olgun Uluc.
The FIBA Secretary in General has also decided that referees who officiated the game shall be removed with immediate effect from the FIBA Elite Program and shall not be nominated to any FIBA-recognized competitions for one year.
Prior to the FIBA decision, SBP president Al Panlilio bared that they're considering not sending a team in the 2018 Asian Games this August.
The Philippines was set to field a TNT KaTropa-reinforced national squad to the Asiad but with Castro, Romeo, Rosario and Pogoy suspended, the SBP may look into other options.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas will be given 14 days to appeal to FIBA, and 21 days in the Court of Appeals from the time the appeal decision was handed down. –with reports from Beatrice Go/Rappler.com

For every successful celebrity is someone coveting his/her throne. Over the course of several projects, Conniving Talent (CT) realized that she might be left far behind by Quiet Achiever (QA). It seems that CT has always believed that she is far better than QA in terms of talent, looks, and background. Despite her seeming advantages, the attention of the network is on QA simply because fans have learned to love her.
While CT has her set of projects, QA has hers as well. QA has several movies lined up as well as magazine photoshoots. She even has endorsements. Moreover, her partnership with Young Male (YM) is well received by fans, who prefer them over other showbiz couples.
As the rivalry between CT and QA heightened, fans got into the picture. Social media sites became the battlefield with one group claiming superiority over the other. However, something seemed amiss as the bashing of CT was becoming too often. The management can only handle so much intrigue, and thus, hopes were high that CT and QA would finally straighten things out between them. That is not the case.
As CT is getting bashed, fingers pointed at the fandoms of QA. Such blame was futile, as someone else had a strategy in mind. One way to gain fans is through sympathy, and thus, when one gets bashed too often, the aggrieved party tends to have more followers and declarations of support. Allegedly, CT worked with this strategy. Carefully, she instructed her groups to create social media accounts with the goal of getting bashed. Thus, most of her bashing actually came from created accounts under her instructions. The point was to make the public think that her ‘bashers’ comprised members of QA’s fandom, whom CT wanted to paint as a group who lacked breeding and manners. However, given the popularity of QA, CT’s strategy might have not worked at all.
