Ejected for the second time this season, Mapua head coach Atoy Co has been suspended for two games by the NCAA management committee on Monday.

The PBA legend was thrown out during the Cardinals’ 70-66 win over the Lyceum Pirates on Friday.

Coincidentally, it was against the Pirates, too, where Co got his first ejection in the first round after he infamously took off his shirt in protest of a call.

Co will miss the Cardinals’ games against Letran on Tuesday and Arellano on Friday.

Upon league rules, players and coaches who are ejected are penalized with an automatic suspension.
