Saw the highlights/reports on ninemsn - absolutely disgusting on behalf of the Phillipines team. Okay, yes some of our guys did over react, but when you have a team floored like Goulding was - what do you expect? There was no call for the Phillipine players to be coming off the bench, throwing coward punches to someone who can't see it coming .... The Phillipines team should be banned for this.
Disgraceful, Farcical, Embarassing craziness.
Goulding played his role as antagonist and drew the foul which may have got that player a tech or ejected and Kickert just had a brain explosion and dropped the dude with a forearm shiver to the throat. Total over-reaction which set of another huge over-reaction. Both teams screwed up here but their team stepped WAY over the line.
Look for stealthy sleuthing to be underway for the guy behind the fight who threw the chair and the guy who punched Sobey to be busted too. Already some pics up that he's a current player who was doing some photography for the team and jumped in that team selfie that they took. Insane.
The huge delay was a joke and to even contemplate continuing a game after that happened was ludicrous and embarrasing for basketball. One good thing was, and I don't know who may have given them the idea, the players realising and fouling themselves out so the game would be called off.
Never seen anything so bizarre.
