ERRING REFEREES SANCTIONED
In game 1 of the Talk N’ Text and Rain or Shine Semifinals on April 28, the game officials missed an out-of-bounds violation that should have given ball possession to Rain or Shine at the 22 second mark of the 4th quarter.
In game 1 of the San Mig Super Coffee and Air 21 Semifinals on April 29, the game officials failed to spot a traveling violation on Asi Taulava that led to a 2-point basket for Air 21 at the 1:22 mark of the 4th quarter.
Both missed calls were not reviewable during the game and were thus not correctible under the rules.
The PBA has taken the appropriate disciplinary and corrective measures on the erring referees.
