Former Santo Tomas University head coach Aldin Ayo will not appear in any Philippine University Athletic Association competition for a long time.
The league’s Board of Directors approved the Board of Directors’ recommendation on August 3 to give Ayo an “indefinite suspension.”
The decision was made during an emergency online meeting of the league’s presidents on Tuesday night.
Over the past two weeks, the league has carefully reviewed UST’s internal investigation report.
According to various sources closely monitoring the situation, the UST report stated that Ayo broke various guidelines set by the Inter-Institutional Task Force by holding a training camp in Barangay Capuy, Sorsogon, from June to August.
2. Movement of all persons in areas placed under GCQ shall be limited to access to essential goods and services, and to work in the offices or industries permitted to operate hereunder. Provided, that movement will not be allowed for leisure purposes.
3. Any person under twenty-one (21) years old, who is sixty (60) years old or older, who has immunodeficiency, comorbidity or other health risks, and the pregnant woman, including any person who resides with the aforementioned, must remain in their residences at all times, except when necessary in the circumstances to obtain essential goods and services or to work in permitted industries and offices.
From June 17 to July 29, 17 members of the Growling Tigers went from NCR to Sorsogon. NCR was under GCQ during that time, while Sorsogon was under MGCQ until June 30.
Eleven of the 17 players are under 21 years old.
In addition to this, the Joint Administrative Order group has also made it clear that “Recreational and non-professional contact sports and activities will be temporarily suspended regardless of the severity of the risk until an effective vaccine and / or adequate standard of care is developed for COVID-19 cases. On the other hand, sports and professional contact activities will be allowed for Filipino professional players with tournaments scheduled abroad and in low-risk areas, provided that the appropriate protocols and guidelines are observed ”.
Since Growling Tigers are a non-professional contact sports team, they are prohibited from engaging in physical activity even in a low-risk area.
Ayo resigned as head coach of the Growling Tigers on August 4.
The last time the league banned an individual was in 2005.
La Salle’s then-assistant team manager Manny Salgado received a penalty after hitting FEU’s Arwind Santos after one game.
In his four-year tenure at UAAP, Ayo, who coached La Salle in seasons 79-80 and UST in seasons 81-82, posted a regular season record of 38-18, 8-4 in the postseason. He is a UAAP champion and a two-time silver medalist.
Ayo is also an NCAA Champion Coach.
It is still unknown if other leagues sanctioned by Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas will also carry out the sentence on Ayo. The UAAP is subject to the SBP.
