The Pac-12 conference reprimanded Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley and issued him a $10,000 fine for his “inappropriate conduct toward the officiating crew” at the end of Arizona State’s 79-75 loss to Oregon State on Saturday evening.
Here is the conference’s full release.
Pac-12 mentioned Hurley followed and verbally confronted officials as they left the court.
“The public post-game conduct by Arizona State men’s basketball head coach Bobby Hurley violates Conference policy and this type of behavior will not be tolerated,” said Commissioner Larry Scott.
“The Conference assigns a high priority for administrators, coaches and student-athletes to support its officiating program,” added Scott. “Chasing and confronting an official or officiating crew after the contest fails to meet these high standards.”
Here is a video capturing the final moments of Saturday’s contest.

This is the second time Hurley was reprimanded by the Pac-12 this season. His first public reprimand came for comments on officials following an overtime loss to Colorado.
