UAAP commissioner Rebo Saguisag slapped a one-game suspension on Adamson interim head coach Mike Fermin following his ejection during the Falcons’ defeat to the De La Salle Green Archers on Sunday.
Fermin was thrown out in the fourth quarter after continuously contesting an unsportsmanlike foul called on Adamson forward Dawn Ochea.
The controversial call came at the most opportune time for Adamson with the Falcons mounting a rally from 26 points down.
After Sunday’s game, Fermin expressed his displeasure over the officiating and claimed that the call killed his team’s momentum.

Fermin, who won’t be with his team when it faces defending champion National University on Wednesday, had also said he will accept the consequences of his action.
Upon league rules, an ejection from the game merits an automatic one-game suspension.
