Idiocy 101: Enrollment now ongoing

by Christian Soler
2,664 Views | 70 Comments

IDIOCY 101 is the newest collegiate basketball crash course. Its aims are simple: To disrupt the beautiful game of hoops and deviate attention from on-court action to meddling by referees, league officials and any other person not donning a jersey.

Enrollment is ongoing. Interested applicants can know more about the course with the help of this syllabus.

Course description

Idiocy 101 is a well-designed, off-classroom subject that deals with causing controversy in both the UAAP and NCAA. The course is structured to anger and enrage passionate fans of the sixteen schools that comprise both aforementioned leagues through horrible officiating and questionable leadership and decision-making skills of UAAP and NCAA officials.

Course outline

The course begins with historical precedents. The NCAA got the ball rolling over the summer through its lack of decisiveness on the Philippine Christian University issue. It flip-flopped over whether or not the Dolphins should participate in Season 84. After at least two postponements, the league’s top honchos finally decided to let the Taft outfit play – a late move that didn’t really give PCU the chance to recruit vigorously and prepare for the battle ahead.

After examining past events, Idiocy 101 moves into the early-season blunders that have beset both leagues. On opening weekend of the UAAP, students of rival schools Ateneo and De La Salle were left clueless over two technical fouls issued on their respective coaches. Green Archers mentor Franz Pumaren was slapped a technical for not wearing his official ID – a move that was valid if only some semblance of consistency was maintained. Just a day before, UST tactician Pido Jarencio managed to coach one whole game against UE sans wearing his own ID and the technical foul.

Ateneo coach Norman Black, meanwhile, was issued his own technical in the DLSU game for “disobeying the commissioner’s orders� before the start of the fourth quarter. Commissioner Almighty, as one of my colleagues often says, was seen arguing with Black and seething with anger across the playing court as if a drunk man was being confronted by an equally wasted individual for messing up “My Way� at a local videoke.

The course introduces even the most avid of basketball fans to the art of despicable officiating. Technical fouls ranging from “improper bench decorum,� like the one given to Ateneo against UP apparently because two team officials were seated on the floor beside the bench – a reality given the fact that there are 11 players on the bench at any given time and a common practice in itself – to a million warnings and Ts for “taunting� despite the fact that players naturally can get carried away and psy-war each other are now a constant in college hoops.

At this point in the season, it is clear that the NABRO refs in charge of the UAAP have become the most competent lecturers and practitioners in the field of Idiocy. One of them has already been suspended for the year for “affecting the outcome of the game� through the issuance of two technicals on FEU at a crucial point in its game against La Salle. These issues have to be mastered in order to obtain a satisfactory mark in Idiocy 101.

The course then moves to the NCAA, whose games are hosted by the empty Pasay Astrodome. Idiocy 101 will also equip the student with tools on lackluster marketing, with the NCAA being the test case. Despite good officiating by PBL referees and exciting matchups, no one seems to care about the country’s oldest collegiate league. The league’s backers seem to be putting all their efforts on the UAAP, so much so that one playdate every week is not televised, not even on a delayed basis. If the JRU-San Beda and Letran-Mapua games were not moved from a non-televised Monday [July 21] to July 23, the art of efficient marketing would have already been perfected.

Course requirements

Students must manifest the anger and frustration that results from either the humiliating officiating and decision-making in the UAAP, or the apathy and terrible promotion of the NCAA games. Students are advised to boo during games, comment on Web sites like inboundpass.com and actively discuss subject matter among each other.

Consultation hours

Students may contact Commissioner Almighty, NABRO, and other concerned offices, policy boards and committees.

Should the course be a success, and both professors and students perform their tasks, a masteral level course will be offered.

    the scheduling is affecting the philippine’s oldest collegiate league. NCAA is scheduled during weekdays wherein many students have their classes unlike the UAAP in which majority of its games are scheduled every weekends. i think that’s a factor.

    I feel bad for the NCAA regarding its scheduling. I would understand on a corporate level the decision of the backers to support the UAAP. But they should have at least scheduled the NCAA games on weekends to the benefit of the students. Marami namang courts/stadiums — ULTRA/ BEG / ARANETA /ARENA /PASAY /RIZAL /NINOY

    Sure, it will be a direct conflict but if you look at it the only conflict I see is that the reporters, commentators and camera crew would be the ones affected - in other words, all those people with the media.

    I also wish that they’d replay the NCAA games or show them on a delayed telecast, similar to the 12:mn UAAP games a decade ago.

    the scheduling of games on the weekdays is the prerogative of abs-cbn. hindi pwedeng magsabay ang coverage on the same day. since the uaap is more popoular, exciting and attracts the most interest and viewership, the legaue gets the “premetime” weekened slots.

    @Green Mind: Thanks Tony. Who knows, Commish and his cohorts just might be a tad behind the masterallevel, so there’s still hope for a better season ahead.

    @Charlie: Too many off-court antics have tarnished the UAAP, and we’re just in week 3. Hopefully more enrollees will come in and bombard the scene with their sentiments. Thanks pare.

    @Kim: Thanks bro. At this rate, we might as well just enter a board meeting and not play basketball. Everything seems to happen off the court.

    @Grrr and JohnIpsi: At the very least, the network can find a way to prop up the league. Have commercials on ABS-CBN or something, not just the 10-second clips featuring 4-5 guys per school that are being aired today.

    John Ipsi:
    UP thought, as it should be, that games are won on court and not through any other BS. Did the “No ID issue” cost DLSU the game? I don’t think so.

    But UP was in a position to win by forfeit, but chose not to. It was the right thing to do.

    FYI: Vince Burke wore the 2008 Ateneo jersey, but minus the “Smart” logo on the right side of the jersey. Technically, it’s still the 08 jersey.

    In Ekwe’s case, the 07 jersey is quite different from the 08 version.

    Now, it’s important to define what constitutes “different” and “wrong” in jersey lingo. If this does not happen, we’ll have a new course in Idiocy 101.

    Christian Soler,

    Interesting scenario. Burke was wearing the 2008 uniform so there was no violation. However, since he did not have the Smart logo stitched on, his uniform became different from the rest. I wonder what the rule book says about this.

    Tuesday, 22 July 2008 at 8:45 am

    Hi MonL,

    Agree with you absolutely that games should be won on court not through any other “BS”. But why did UP did not raise the issue on the wrong uniform before the game as it did with DLSU (no ID)? DLSU was not even playing UP at that time.

    Smells fishy to me :-)

    Hi MonL,

    Sorry, missed your last line —”But UP was in a position to win by forfeit, but chose not to. It was the right thing to do”

    The “right thing to do” is for UP to file the protest against ADMU because it saw an infraction, the same way it did with DLSU.

    Rules were set by UAAP and should be applied to all teams fairly.

    Tuesday, 22 July 2008 at 10:23 am

    MonL,

    I agree, games should be won and lost in the court but this does not apply in the SBC-CSB game. Sam Ekwe was ineligible to play because he was not wearing the current season’s uniform (as per NCAA rulebook). So SBC’s win using an ineligible player isn’t a fair win.

    @ina ng photo: You’re most likely one of my students in my REAL class, hehe. Thanks.

    Again, let me reiterrate the importance of drawing the lines between what constitutes a “different” or “wrong” uniform, and what’s overreacting.

    The Ekwe case shows us that indeed, the two jerseys came from different seasons, whereas the Long and Burke cases involve jerseys coming from the same year. The misplaced “Talk N Text” patch isn’t what made Ekwe’s jersey different from this year’s, so the issue with the “Smart” patch shouldn’t even be a big deal.

    What the NCAA needs is a facelift. Someone, somewhere, somehow, has to do a better job improving on the league’s image.

    Start with the multitude of stars that play in the league. Kelvin dela Peña, Ogie Menor, Pong Escobal, RJ Jazul, Dino Daa, Jason Ballesteros, JR Sena, John Wilson and Beau Belga will all make it to the PBA. And with young guns like Allan Mangahas, Raymond Maconocido, Jake Pascual and Chuck Dalanon, just to name a few, how could you possibly run out of marketing material?

    Please, please do something about the NCAA.

    how nice of you, sir, to have KDP on top of your pro-bound NCAA players. you also have A.Mangahas there although im not quite sure who that Jake Pascual is. were you pertaining to the ‘other’ pascual of the Cards other than Neil Pascual? you missed him on your pro-to-be players by the way.

    i think you’re dead spot right in saying that it’s just a matter of marketing that the NCAA is like this nowadays. but that’s how is it. all i can do right now is to sit around. watch the games. hope that something short of a miracle would happen.

    @h0pe, honestly, UAAP should take out the requirement for a school to be a universtity in order to join the league. It’s all about sports. The UAAP is not an academic exercise. Besides when we talk about seniors basketball, that implies collegiate basketball, that is, games that are played by students who are not in their high school years anymore.

    A bachelors degree from SBC has the same weight to those from UP, DLSU, Ateneo, UST, FEU, etc. So what’s the diff?

    If the UAAP removes this requirement, and schools have the freedom to transfer leagues, this will result to something similar to a merger. The remaining league will die a natural death. Whether that’s gonna be the NCAA or UAAP.

    @mapuan: Jake Pascual is the San Beda rookie from PCU high. Mapua’s other Pascual is Jason (#5). Of course, KDP is one of the best all-around players in the country. He’ll be an excellent point guard in the pros.

    @archerincali818/pinggoy18: Thanks. A lot of off-court personalities are really getting into my nerves and it’s really time to shut up and play ball.

    “…lackluster marketing, with the NCAA being the test case. Despite good officiating by PBL referees and exciting matchups, no one seems to care about the country’s oldest collegiate league.”

    How true! Bring back DLSU and ADMU to the NCAA to revive the league. The UAAP was in on the verge of gasping its last breath until the two teams rejuvenated the league.

    No amount of marketing savvy can arouse the interest of the basketball public in a league where even their fans don’t give a damn about the games. Except for the bedans, the students of jru, the elementary kids from csjl, and a few dolphins fanatics, walang nanonood. Even the studentry from host Mapua are nowhere to be seen.

    Kawawang league.

    Wednesday, 23 July 2008 at 7:56 pm

    @Grrr: You’re spot on. Only Bedans and students from JRU and Perpetual Help pack the arenas. Letran fans are there as well, but not consistently.

    What bothers me more is that Mapua, this year’s hosts, isn’t really doing much to strengthen the league’s fanbase. In the first place, it can’t even get its own students to watch.

    The league’s backers can’t just roll over and die and say the UAAP will always be superior to them, as far as audience reach goes. Come on, a lot of the NCAA schools have an even richer basketball history than their UAAP counterparts.

    I really wanna see Mapuans and even students from San Sebastian watch the games. They’ve got top-caliber teams. I have a good feeling that the Stags will rally in the second round, so their school has a lot to watch out for.

    if i may say my two cents worth comments on the lack of attendance in ncaa games. I guess its the proximity of the venue from the member schools. Economics also has to do with it. the unabated and spiralling cost of fuel has created a domino effect that watching a live game has become prohibitive.to be sure,putting food on the table would top the list for majority of filipino families. having said that, others may counter that the uaap is packing them in, except for ust which is in manila, the venue of the uaap which is ultra is within striking distance of uaap member schools. moreover, the uaap games are played during weekends unlike the ncaa. lastly, i hate to admit this, but the exodus of admu and dlsu has depleted the ncaa of its glamour and popularity that attendance plummeted.

    @Christian, I was alluding to the state when I mentioned “Freedom of speechâ€? and “corruptionâ€? NOT this site nor YOU! Please read my comments again. I only wanted green mind to be given some space instead of being threatend like he was in a gestapo, gulag, garrison state. Masama ba yun?

    I don’t think we’re running a gulag here. I just asked everyone to chill with the accusations that we’re fudging figures.

    where’s the love for the juniors for both the uaap and the ncaa?? this is a topic that should also be discussed..wala man lang support from the sponsors and the channel covering both the leagues, kahit delayed telecast man lang..i’d much rather watch the juniors than some crummy old movie, series re-run or teleserye every afternoon..

    Yup, juniors games should also be televised. I perfectly agree with that.
