Technical, unsportsmanlike fouls in UAAP now subject to review for suspension accumulation
The UST Growling Tigers will be without star guard Forthsky Padrigao for their UAAP Season 88 men's basketball tournament opener due to a one-game suspension for two unsportsmanlike fouls from last season.
However, the UAAP has revised its rules for Season 88, now requiring a review of all technical and unsportsmanlike fouls before they count towards suspension accumulation.
This change aims to prevent minor infractions from impacting game outcomes or season results.
Previously, accumulating two unsportsmanlike fouls or three technical fouls automatically led to a suspension.
Padrigao's suspension, though still in effect for the opener, is now subject to this new review process.
Despite this, Padrigao remains eligible for end-of-season awards as the fouls were from the previous year.
