Improving officiating always a league priority, says UAAP commish Saguisag

UAAP commissioner Rebo Saguisag said officiating is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the game, which is why the league constantly looks for ways to improve it.

Saguisag said the UAAP plans to assemble its own pool of referees who will receive training and better pay to ensure quality officiating.

“We always say that we have the best players, the best coaches,” he said on ANC’s "Hardball" on Monday. “(But) we also have to have top-notch officiating.”

“ ‘Pag faulty ang officiating and may question sa integrity of the game, maaaring bumagsak lahat,” he added.

According to Saguisag, the league currently outsources its game officials.
