The NCAA on Wednesday imposed one-game suspensions on San Beda head coach Boyet Fernandez, Red Lions Robert Bolick and Clint Doliguez, and College of St. Benilde wingman Carlo Young.

The three players were involved in an in-game scuffle late in the Red Lions’ 72-58 win on Tuesday.

Young went for a takedown that brought Bolick to the floor, igniting a series of ejections that saw Bolick and Doliguez get thrown out with 2:28 remaining in the game.

Fernandez, meanwhile, was suspended for his second infraction of “disrespecting game officials.”

Bolick was also given a warning by NCAA commissioner Bai Cristobal for the aforementioned offense.

The suspension took Bolick out of the running for any individual award including the Most Valuable Player plum. Bolick is currently sixth in the MVP race. —BONG LOZADA, Inquirer.net
