Colegio de San Juan de Letran is sending a letter to the NCAA Management Committee to ask for a review over a non-call late in Game 2 of the Season 100 Juniors Basketball Final Four match against De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde - La Salle Green Hills.
In the incident being cited by Letran, Arle Podador fell on the floor after what the Greenies claimed was caused by a hit from Letran's Daniel Padilla in the final 6.5 seconds of fourth quarter. Benilde-LSGH had a slim 78-77 lead then.
The Squires, however, stressed it was a flop, based on what they have seen on the live stream.
The referees ran their own review during the game, but did not come out with any call or warning.
In the letter signed by Squires head coach Willie Miller, Letran said "the incident is crucial because Letran would be awarded a free throw due to the penalty situation on the part of Benilde".
He added: "In light of this evidence, we respectfully request that you review the incident and take necessary actions to ensure fairness and integrity in the game."
Benilde-LSGH eventually won the game to dethrone the defending champions Squires and advance to the finals against the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA.
Game 1 of the finals is scheduled on Friday.
