Ateneo head coach Bo Perasol will not be on the bench in their crucial game against University of Santo Tomas.

In a statement released to the media, the UAAP board has decided that Perasol violated the terms of his suspension in their victory against University of the East, and has to serve the one-game ban again.

Also, the board upheld the Blue Eagles’ victory over the Red Warriors.

The release read as follows:

“Ateneo coach Bo Perasol has been ordered by the UAAP Board to serve the one-game suspension he incurred for almost violently confronting a De La Salle fan right after the Blue Eagles-Green Archers game two weeks ago.

“Coach Bo was in the game venue [Mall of Asia Arena]  when he was supposed to be serving his suspension, that is why the board decided that he should be serving the penalty,” said Season 76 secretary treasurer Malou Isip of host Adamson University.

Perasol was at the game venue when Ateneo played University of the East (UE) last Sunday, a violation of a UAAP rule that a suspended coach must not be in the playing venue.

Isip stressed the Board is not imposing a second suspension on Perasol, but merely ordering him to serve ban.

Ateneo and UE representatives to the Board did not join the deliberation.

UE sought a clarification on the particular UAAP rule that tasked the UAAP Board to hold a meeting yesterday (Thursday) as the Casa Espanol in Manila.

Red Warriors officials has earlier maintained they were not after a forfeiture of their lost game to the Blue Eagles—that resulted to UE’s elimination from the Final Four race—but were seeking clarification for the infraction.“
