The australian penalties, other than Goulding, are about right.

The Filipino penalties are ******* laughable. When you consider what was handed out for the key figures in 'Malice in the Palace' it is truly bonkers the key people are getting away with a few games off.

Particularly their coach and assistant.

I doubt they will but ABA should threaten a boycott over the complete failure to adequately punish the Philippines.

Tracey Holmes might need to get herself a lawyer - the payout from the defamation claim should cover the fine with change.
Did you see her try to defend herself on "Offsiders" on Sunday? Even after Kelly Underwood told her that BA had told the ABC that they'd looked into it and found nothing, Tracey tried to paint it as "interesting" that she wasn't told the same thing, even though she didn't ask the same question

She even got a gig on Media Watch - though part of it was for some of the more distasteful comments aimed at her

Deadset, three games for an assistant coach to leave the bench and assault a player on the ground with a chair and punches.

Forget the players involved, coaches should never, ever get in a fight. That pissweak campaigner should have received a life ban.

And Goulding gets a ban for copping an offensive foul that sparked a brawl.

* right off FIBA. You've just shot yourselves in the foot because you will never see Australia's growing stable of NBA players in qualifying matches again.

That's the big one for me.

******* insane.
 
How pathetic. Weak dog king hits Sobey and gets a big fat whopping 5 games. Bloke should be banned for life. NBA hands down more severe penalties when a player looks at a another player the wrong way.

I really hope BA appeals (would it go to CAS?) And/or threatens to boycott FIBA events in Asia.

I also hope Goulding and Sobey to each now seek criminal charges against the players/officials who assaulted them. (Could they also have grounds to sue FIBA for failing to protect them?)

The Kickert and Maker suspension are fair.
- the BA fine js highly exaggerated (probably trying to appease philippines) and the Goulding suspension is a joke.

But the Philippines punishments re all ridiculous.

Can’t wait for our next match against that pathetic rabble.

Never going to happen but would love for all our big names to come out and play the 1 match and annihilate them.
