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 launched 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 awards including the Most Valuable Player plum. The San Beda star was sixth in the MVP rae.

The San Beda mentor launched a tirade after the game Tuesday questioning the disqualifying foul on Bolick.

“I don’t want to insinuate things. I don’t want to speculate, but it’s a won game already, and then that incident happened and they penalized the other team that did not start it,” he said. “If they want us to lose ball games, then let us lose that ball game in a proper way,” Fernandez told the media.
