David West is pissed off at the NCAA over James Wiseman's punishment ... telling TMZ Sports the the org. should be giving young players opportunities, not taking them away.
The Memphis superstar just got slapped with a 12-game suspension and $11,500 fine after the NCAA determined he accepted a loan of the same amount from Penny Hardaway in 2017 -- before he took over at UM.
We broke the news of the ruling to West outside Chin Chin in LA on Wednesday ... and
"I'm not a fan of the NCAA, so I don't think think he should've been suspended," West says.
