For Powerade Tigers head coach Bo Perasol, officiating is still a critical factor in the PBA. Perasol says if the referees call it fair and square in every game, it would create equal chances of winning for each squad, according to Quinito Henson of the PhilStar.

“I will always maintain that whatever officiating changes we make will only be appreciated if the rules are applied consistently. It favored our team a bit in our first game this season because we wore down Rain Or Shine’s shooters with only 17 percent three-point shooting. In our case, most of our guards are known shooters. So if Gary (David) gets tired, there are still Mark Macapagal, RenRen Ritualo, Paolo Mendoza and Chico Lanete.”
