Incident Summary:Allegation that Fresno Heat had a player attempt to play under another name. The player had a valid player pass but was not on the game card and attempted to play under the name of another player. This was caught in the check-in and the player was prevented from playing in the game.
Comments:The coach of the Fresno Heat, Jose Valdez, is found to have attempted to play an illegal player. Jose Valdez is suspended from all NorCal competitions through April 12, 2024. Fresno Heat is fined $500. As this is the second time in the fall season that Fresno Heat has been found to have used or attempted to use an illegal player, and because Fresno Heat is currently on club probation, the PAD Committee recommends that the Board of Directors undertake a club membership review of Fresno Heat.
