NCAA Bans Lim, Red Lion Players And Officials Suspended
The NCAA on Tuesday handed down two-year bans for San Beda basketball coach Frankie Lim and San Sebastian volleyball coach Roger Gorayeb for their respective roles in a melee at the San Beda campus last December.
the two coaches engaged in a heated verbal exchange that led to a fracas during an NCAA volleyball game at the St. Placid’s Gym in San Beda. Gorayeb and a female San Sebastian volleyball player, Mae Crisostomo, were hurt during the incident.
The incident started after San Beda’s Nigerian center Ole Adeogun heard chants by male San Sebastian volleyball players that he perceived as a racial slur. But the spikers denied the charge, saying they were misheard and that they were only shouting a standard volleyball warm-up chant that was not directed at Adeogun.
Apart from Lim and Gorayeb, incoming Red Lions members Adeogun and Julius Armon were also given bans for next season. The two players are also barred from entering any NCAA venue as supporters in Season 88.
Center Dave Marcelo was handed a three-game suspension for his role in the melee, while one-game sanctions were handed to Red Lions Kyle Pascual, Jake Pascual, Jaypee Mendoza, Rysie Koga, Garvo Lanete, Rome de la Rosa, Melo Lim, Daniel Sudan, Mar Villahermosa, Baser Amer and Anjo Caram. San Beda assistant Ed Cordero was also slapped a one-game suspension.
