PBA players, coach fined P63,500 for flagrant fouls, flops, 'addressing commissioner'

Norbert Torres of Phoenix was suspended one game and fined P20,000 for a flagrant foul penalty 2 (FFP2) against Star's Ian Sangalang which the league said 'resulted in dire consequences.'

Most of the other violations were for flagrant fouls and resentment to calls, but Meralco coach Norman Black got a P1,000 fine for a technical foul for continuous complaining and an extra P3,000 'for addressing the commissioner during a live game.'

Another player, San Miguel's Ronald Tubid, was slapped a P2,000 penalty 'for disrespecting referee Edith Botecario.' The league said the SMB veteran 'applauded in a sarcastic manner' after a call made by the woman referee.

On the other hand, Phoenix import Eugene Phelps was slapped a P3,000 fine for flopping on top of a P1,000 for a technical foul.

* Mahindra import James White fined P5,000 for FFP1 infraction against Jeff Chan.
