SHOOTING guard Ron Dennison is facing a one-game suspension and could miss defending champion Far Eastern University’s game with University of Santo Tomas this Saturday.
He was penalized with a disqualifying foul during their game with the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, who the Tamaraws beat, 51-49, last Sunday.
University Athletic Association of the Philippines’ basketball commissioner Rebo Saguisag is still reviewing videos of the incident.
Dennison was thrown out with 2:48 left in the game for an alleged intentional hit on Paul Desiderio.
Coach Nash Racela has asked Saguisag for a review of the incident, claiming that Dennison should not have been ejected and that Desiderio allegedly flopped.
FEU has 48 hours to make a formal appeal.
“I will review the tape more so if the parties avail of the remedies, if they can put it in writing, supply it with a spliced tape, we will have to address those issues. But even without that, we will review it,” said Saguisag.
During the game, Monbert Arong hit the pivotal basket for the Tams, and it came after two defensive stops by Prince Orizu.
Arong’s turnaround jumper with 14.6 seconds left handed the Tamaraws a 50-47 lead.
It was enough to hold off the Maroons and hand the defending champions their third win in five games.
