MANILA, Philippines—The NCAA has decided to indefinitely suspend John Amores from all league activities following the scuffle between Jose Rizal University and College of St. Benilde on Tuesday.

According to the league Management Committee review, Amores intentionally bumped and pointed a finger at a referee, disrespected JRU representative Paul Supan and court officials, charged toward Benilde’s bench, and made provocative gestures igniting a brawl on top of throwing punches against several players.

“Violence has no place in the NCAA. The ManCom condemns, and will not tolerate, any acts of violence that will endanger our athletes, participants, officials, supporters, and the public. The safety of everyone is our primordial concern,” the NCAA Mancom said in its ruling released on Wednesday.

Sangco, however, is also suspended for two games along with fellow Blazer CJ Flores for committing disrespectful acts before Mancom representatives.
