CSB coach confirmed John Amores went to their team to apologize
JOHN AMORES – The former Jose Rizal University player personally went to the College of Saint Benilde to apologize to Blazers following his punching spree.
Previously, Amores made a buzz online 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, Amores went to CSB 11 days after the incident to apologize to the team. The Blazers’ head coach, Charles Tiu, confirmed it. Watch the report below:
According to Tiu, he invited Amores during their practice game to apologize, which he did. Tiu was relieved that he had the fortitude to face the issue and apologize.
Before apologizing to the Blazers, two of their players (Pasturan and Davis) filed charges against John Amores. Aside from that, he was kicked out of the JRU team, losing of his student-athlete privilege.
