Frustration over refs’ calls doomed Rain or Shine in Game Two, says ejected Yeng Guiao

It was Yeng Guiao’s turn to lose his cool in the Philippine Cup semifinals.
The fiery Rain or Shine coach spent most of the second half of the Elasto Painters’ loss to San Mig Coffee in the SM Mall of Asia Arena press room after picking up his second technical foul in the third quarter.
The Elasto Painters suffered one of their worst losses since Guiao took over as coach, yielding a 106-82 result.
“We just got frustrated with the calls. We felt that they were allowing too much contact against us while we couldn’t defend them with the same amount of contact they were giving us,” he said.
More than James Yap’s 34-point explosion or the Mixers’ balanced attack, Guiao said the mental aspect of the game did his players in.
“The blowout was caused by the mental breakdown on our part and our frustration with the officiating,” he said.
Guiao said he doesn’t want to spend time thinking about the refereeing for the series.
“I think that’s the league’s job,” said Guiao. “Our job is to correct our mistakes. The league’s job is the officiating. Yan ang trabahong iiwanan namin sa kanila. We will correct some things, but not the referees.”
