Noli Eala resigns

link. More here.

I disagree with Eala's firing. The removal of Eala has created more problems for the PBA than if they were to have kept him as commissioner. Eala should have done an Arroyo and stayed put. At least sa kanya extra-marital affair lang.

Eniwey, I remember the same thing happened to the Phoenix Suns back in 2002, only worse. Their new head coach, Frank Johnson, had an adulterous affair with the wife of one of the team's sponsors.

A Phoenix-area home builder who says he is ending his company's $600,000 per year sponsorship agreement with the Phoenix Suns over "integrity issues" has accused coach Frank Johnson of having an affair with his estranged wife.

Greg Hancock, president of Hancock Communities, told the East Valley Tribune in a story published Friday that that his wife, Linda, and Johnson had an affair. Hancock said he and Johnson had been neighbors for six years.

Hancock did not say that the alleged affair was the reason he was severing ties with the Suns, but he told The Arizona Republic earlier in the week that he was discontinuing his payments because of "integrity issues."

Johnson released a statement through the Suns saying only that he and his wife, Amy, had been separated for a year.

The Suns lost some money because of their new coach's affair with the sponsor's wife:

The Suns lost a sponsor last week over integrity issues."

The East Valley (Ariz.) Tribune says at issue is an affair between coach Frank Johnson and the wife of the sponsor. Even if Phoenix- area homebuilder Greg Hancock did not specify the relationship as the reason.

Johnson said he and his wife, who have two teenage daughters, have been separated for a year. He did not address the affair. Linda Hancock's divorce lawyer did.

I don't think this has anything to do with Frank Johnson or the Phoenix Suns," attorney Brian Kelley said. This is about a divorce case and a wife who didn't choose to do what her husband demanded in terms of settling the divorce."

Hancock has five years left on a 10-year deal to pay the Suns $600,000 per year.

As far as the issue in the Tribune and Frank's statements, the Suns have no comment," Suns attorney Tom O'Malley said. That's an issue between those two gentlemen."

Using the word loosely.

But the Suns stuck with their coach at that time and didn't fire him. Johnson coached the Suns to the playoffs in 2003. He was fired in 2004 though for the teams awful performance (the year marbury was traded) and replaced by Mike D'Antoni.
