On Tuesday, the league officially fined Baldwin for P75,000 and suspended him for three games for issuing statements "detrimental to the league."
Last week, Coach Tab caused a stir when he said that the PBA's one-import tournament is a "big mistake" and that local coaches show "tactical immaturity" due to the advantages afforded to imports.
Baldwin made the comments on the Coaches Unfiltered podcast.
On Monday, Baldwin had an online meeting with PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial to explain his side.

"I feel bad that has happened but that is not my intention," coach Tab said.
Baldwin should serve his suspension when the PBA returns from the COVID-19 pandemic.
On top of being Ateneo's head coach and the SBP's program director, Baldwin serves as an assistant coach for the TNT KaTropa.
