The Big 12 Conference reprimanded West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins on Thursday for his postgame comments after he was ejected from the Mountaineers' 77-69 loss to Kansas on Saturday.
The conference's statement, posted on big12sports.com, said Huggins' comments "are in violation of the Big 12 Conference’s Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct rules."
“There are proper channels within the conference structure to handle officiating concerns,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. “Coach Huggins’ public comments are contrary to the Conference’s Sportsmanship standards.”
The legendary former UC Bearcats head coach was ejected from a game for what is believed to be just the fifth time in his long coaching career.
