FORMER Australian national team player Shane Heal blamed Daniel Kickert for Monday’s brawl between Gilas Pilipinas and Australia in the third window of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Asian Qualifiers at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.

“It was a total overreaction and totally out of character from Daniel Kickert to respond the way that he did, by coming and hitting (Roger) Pogoy hard with his forearm,” said Heal in his article entitled “The haunting look on Delly’s face” from the playersvoice.com.au. last July 3.
