COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- Utah coach Ray Giacoletti was reprimanded by the Mountain West Conference for criticizing the officials after Saturday's overtime loss to Rhode Island.
Giacoletti was upset that a foul was not called on Rhode Island players when Utah's Luke Nevill was trying to put back an offensive rebound at the last second of Utah's 85-84 loss.
Giacoletti said it was the "most gutless" non-call he had seen in 21 years of coaching.
The conference's sportsmanship policy precludes public criticism of game officials.
