The coach had already been irked when UP center Bright Akhuetie was assessed with a personal foul and a technical foul in succession, forcing him to the bench early in the third quarter.Perasol was called for two quick technical fouls and was tossed from the game, but not before taking a fighting stance against the referee.Ateneo went on to win the game, 89-63, handing UP its second loss of the season. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2019/09/30/to-fulfill-destiny-maroons-need-up-community-behind-61572">READ: To fulfill its destiny, Coach Bo says Maroons need UP community behind it</a></li></ul>&quot;After thorough review and careful deliberation made by the technical committee, we deemed it fit that the penalty of three-game suspension handed to coach Bo Perasol for his actions in the game between Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines last Sunday,&quot; said UAAP basketball commissioner Jensen Ilagan.Based on Article 9.2.1 of the UAAP General Tournament Guidelines, 2019, &quot;a student-athlete, coach, trainer, or team manager, team official or any accompanying delegation member who is disqualified, thrown out of or ejected from unsportsmanlike behavior from the game by the concerned game official shall not be allowed to play in the immediately succeeding game. Should said game be canceled, the suspension will be served in the game that immediately follows.&quot;Aside from the automatic one-game suspension, Perasol was also given an additional two-game bans for &quot;continuous flagrant acts of aggression.&quot; The coach needed to be restrained by his players as he kept jawing at the referee even after being given two technical fouls already.&quot;Do acknowledge that similar actions of the same grain shall be dealt with similar penalties,&quot; said Ilagan.&quot;May this incident be an example for players and coaches alike to exhibit tremendous restraint and discipline, not just towards officials but everyone on the court. We&#x27;d also like to remind the teams that there are proper avenues to raise these contradictions and complaints to protect the sanctity of the game we all love.&quot;Perasol will be suspended for UP&#x27;s games against Far Eastern University on October 6, against University of the East on October 12, and University of Santo Tomas on October 16.This is not the first time that Perasol had been thrown out of a game and suspended. He was also thrown out during their first-round game against Ateneo in Season 81, and handed a one-game ban. In Season 76, his first season with Ateneo de Manila University, Perasol was also suspended for confronting a fan in a game against De La Salle University.
