UCLA linebacker Deon Hollins' chastising of a Pac-12 officiating crew for its performance in UCLA's 31-27 loss to Washington State on Saturday didn't go over too well at the conference headquarters.
In response to Hollins' comments, which the Pac-12 termed "derogatory" and included, "It's really tough sometimes beating the referees and beating the other team," the conference released a public reprimand Wednesday.
"All of our student-athletes must adhere to the Pac-12's Standards of Conduct," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. "Mr. Hollins remarks were a clear violation of the Pac-12 comprehensive restrictions on public comments on officiating and he is being appropriately reprimanded.
