INTERACTIVE TIMELINE: Referee controversies in 2015 PBA Commissioner's Cup
It has been a tumultuous playoffs for the PBA in terms of officiating, as several complains and accusations have been hurled by coaches and players against the league referees in the Commissioner's Cup.
Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao did not hold back when speaking out against questionable calls, which reached its peak as he accused referee Rey Yante of being a "bare-faced liar" on Sunday for slapping him with a technical foul due to alleged use of profanities. Even Marc Pingris of Purefoods could not help but call out the referees for allowing too much physicality during games.
Protesting about officiating is a normal part of the basketball, but with the glaring series of concerns hounding the league right now, GMA News Online traced the various claims made over the duration of the Commissioners' Cup.
