Tigers Ababou, Camus suit up vs Tamaraws
MANILA, Philippines – The UAAP technical committee yesterday decided to allow UST’s Dylan Ababou and Chris Camus to play as the Tigers take on the Far Eastern U Tams in the UAAP seniors basketball tournament at the Araneta Coliseum today.
“In yesterday’s (Tuesday’s) technical committee meeting, the board decided to let them (Ababou and Camus) play,” a source told The STAR.
But the same source said the board might reconvene in an emergency meeting to resolve the issue before the 4 p.m. match.
“A decision has to be made before the UST-FEU game tomorrow (today) because until they convene an emergency meeting, which is unlikely, then they can play,” the source said.
UST’s Fr. Ermito de Sagon, OP, chairs the technical committee composed of Ateneo’s Ricky Palou, La Salle’s Chuck Buenaventura, National U’s Bam Paguia and Adamson’s Fr. Max Rendon.
“Let’s just wait for the board decision,” said league commissioner Joe Lipa.
Ababou and Camus were caught on video replays allegedly throwing a punch in separate incidents against La Salle players in their Sunday’s game. But the referees slapped only technical fouls as the Archers went on to fashion out a 101-92 double overtime.
The Tams rolled to their fourth win in row after trouncing the Maroons, 77-65, last Saturday.
