The announcement came one day after Hill issued an apology for his profanity-laden outburst that was overheard during men’s basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak’s post-game news conference on Sunday night at the Huntsman Center following a close loss to Arizona State.
“The Pac-12 membership has established conduct rules that prohibit our administrators from derogatory language, as well as publicly commenting about officiating,” Scott said in a release from the Pac-12. “We have an obligation to our members to enforce approved Conference rules. While we appreciate Dr. Hill’s public apology, as a part of our officiating program, there is a protocol in place for our administrators to provide feedback directly to the coordinator of officials in a private and appropriate manner.
