Gonzalez spared from suspension as Miranda to miss JRU home game


The Jose Rizal University will have their head coach again when they host the EAC Generals on Thursday, August 1.

The NCAA has granted the appeal by the Heavy Bombers regarding the one-game suspension of Louie Gonzalez.

Gonzalez incurred two technical fouls with 8:37 left in the third frame of their game against Lyceum last Friday.

“Coach Louie Gonzalez can coach with a very stern warning that repetition of a similar situation would merit an automatic suspension,” said the league’s statement.

“Gonzalez is set to appear before the Chair [Peter Cayco] and Commissioner [Tonichi Pujante] at 1:00 pm tomorrow.”

Agem Miranda, however, did not escape sanction.

During that same game, the sophomore guard, who is averaging 13.0 points per game, incurred a disqualifying foul with 3:31 remaining in the game after refs caught him punching rookie Biern Laurente.

JRU enters their home game with a 2-4 record in the NCAA Season 95 Seniors Basketball Tournament.
