UAAP: Topex Robinson hopes suspension on Wello Lingolingo eased
La Salle coach Topex Robinson has appealed for a shorter suspension for UE player Wello Lingolingo, despite Lingolingo's foul causing an injury to La Salle's Kean Baclaan.
Baclaan suffered an MCL injury after Lingolingo dove for the ball and landed on his knee during a game where La Salle narrowly defeated UE, 111-110, in overtime.
Lingolingo was initially suspended for three games, while UE coach Chris Gavina received a four-game ban for his reaction to the incident.
Robinson stated that while Lingolingo deserves a suspension, he believes the three-game penalty is too harsh, influenced by a conversation with Baclaan who also expressed sympathy for Lingolingo.
