FEU QUESTIONS OFFICIATING IN TAMS VS EAGLES GAME

so earlier put my entry about the FEU vs ATENEO game 2..and i said there is something fishy in the game..BUT! it says that on the 1st game, there is really something fishy in the fight O.o
[why do i don't know this on the first place?? i am so late! hahah!]
the actual letter of FEU Athletic Director Mark Molina to UAAP Commissioner Andrew Jao
Far Eastern University Athletic Director Mark Molina has submitted a letter to UAAP Commissioner Andrew Jao bringing attention to the officiating during the FEU vs Ateneo game last August 7, 2011. The Tamaraws lost to the Blue Eagles 69-49 but Molina believes the spotty officiating in that game was mainly behind the large gap.

In the letter, Molina stated "How can a game that is close in every relevant statistical category have a final score of 69-49?  In this particular game there is only one difference:  Free Throw Attempts: FEU – 9, ATENEO -28."



The stats he referred to are the following:
Points inside the paint:  FEU – 13/36, Ateneo – 13/30
Points from the perimeter: FEU 8/40, Ateneo – 9/33
Rebounds: FEU – 49, Ateneo – 48
Turnovers: FEU – 10, Ateneo – 12
Accompanying the letter was a DVD that contains clips of 13 instances of bad calls and no calls against FEU.
The video can be viewed in the official Facebook page of FEU by clicking HERE.

Summary of plays in the DVD:
1.     Monfort hits Romeo in the face and does not get a technical foul.  How is this different from the technical foul called on Adamson’s Etrone when he hit DLSU’s De La Paz in the face?  Instead the referee calls a foul on Romeo.  After the call, DLSU Coach Pumaren vehemently argues against the call but the officials correctly use restraint and do not issue a technical foul or warning but Coach Bert Flores quickly gets hit for a technical foul.  With FEU still within nine points with 8 minutes left, FEU should have been taking two free throws plus ball possession, instead Ateneo takes four free throws plus ball possession.  
2.    No call on Slaughter when he falls on RR Garcia.
3.    Foul called on FEU’s Mendoza on Ravena when he has his hand held straight up to challenge the shot.
4.    No call on Salva as he clearly fouls Romeo on his jump shot and even invades the shooter’s landing spot.
5.    No call on Monfort against Garcia.
6.    Slaughter uses left hand to shove Ramos before catching the ball then again when he takes the shot but there is no call.
7.    No call on Monfort against Garcia then no call on Salva when he bumps Garcia.  Notice that Salva does not jump straight up in the play but towards Garcia.
8.    No call on Slaughter when he goes over the back against Cruz instead Cruz is called for a loose ball foul.
9.    Foronda gets called for a foul on Slaughter when there is barely any contact.
10.    Last touch on Chua but Ateneo gets possession.
11.    Loose ball foul on Exciminiano against Austria when he jumps straight up with his hands up.
12.    2 illegal screens on Golla in one possession but there is no call.
13.    Slaughter bumps Tolomia with his left hand down but there is no call.
