ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ native and former Santa Rita standout was not on his best behavior during a professional basketball game in Venezuela.
Stoglin signed with Trotamundos B.B.C earlier in 2018, a team that plays in Venezuela's professional basketball league. When play stopped, Stoglin grabbed the basketball out of one of his teammate's hands on the court, punted the ball into the crowd and was immediately ejected from the game. As he walked off the court, Stoglin released an expletive hand gesture to the heckling fans.
