NCAA has banned JRU’s John Amores indefinitely
JOHN AMORES – The National Collegiate Athletic Association has banned the Jose Rizal University player indefinitely following his rampage during a game versus the College of St. Benilde.
Amores is currently making a buzz after throwing punches during the JRU vs CSB game in the NCAA Season 98 tournament at the FilOil EcoOil Centre on Tuesday, November 8.
Migs Oczon of College of St. Benilde had just secured a three-point shot (71-51) when cameras rolled to Amores and CSB’s CJ Flores getting entangled on the floor. Amores was then involved in an altercation with the referee.
JRU’s coaching staff escorted Amores out of the game while the latter continued to yell at someone on the opposing bench. He eventually charged at CSB players and threw punches, hitting several rival cagers.
Mark Sangco of CSB attempted to stop Amores by punching him. But it only fueled Amores’ rage. Taine Davis was hit in the jaw, and Jimboy Pasturan was hit in the eye. Security then escorted Amores to the dugout.
Meanwhile, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has decided to ban John Amores indefinitely.
Amores committed numerous offenses such as pointing a finger at a referee, disrespecting the ManCom representative and court officials, charging toward the CSB bench, which sparked a brawl, making provocative gestures that sparked a fight, and punching four CSB players.
NCAA also suspended CSB’s Mark Sangco and Chris Flores for two games for their involvement in a fistfight and brawl, as well as JRU’s William Sy and Ryan Arenal for their disrespectful behavior.
Ladis Lepalam of CSB and Jason Tan, Joshua Guiab, Marwin Dionisio, Jonathan Medina, Karl de Jesus, and CJ Gonzales of JRU were suspended for one game for entering the court.
