Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry charged referee in wild scene after crushing loss
Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry charged referee in wild scene after crushing loss
Micah Shrewsberry tried to give this referee the business.

I watched all of this live early Saturday morning as the game was on ESPN2.
ND played the end game so poorly. Admittedly, they were trying to give a foul up three (they had one to give before Cal would shoot 1-1) but there were two soft tries and even the one they were called on was probably called as much because the Cal player was shooting than anything else.
The thing that probably saved Micah here is he is worse shape than I am. Otherwise, he probably would have gotten to the ref instead of being blocked.

ACC issues ruling after Notre Dame coach’s shocking pursuit of referee

The ACC issued a “public reprimand” for Notre Dame basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry after his outburst following the Fighting Irish’s controversial 72-71 loss to Cal on Friday.
“Shrewsberry aggressively confronted a member of the officiating crew following the game,” a statement from the ACC read. “The unsportsmanlike behavior that was displayed is unacceptable and tarnishes the on-court play between these institutions.”
Shrewsberry will not be suspended or fined for the incident.
With about five seconds left in Friday’s game in Berkeley, Cal’s Dai Dai Ames hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 71-71 and was fouled on the play.
Referees reversed the call before Ames shot his free throw, calling the basket off, before later reversing the call once again and counting the shot.
On Ames’ way up the court, Notre Dame defender Logan Imes had tried to commit a foul in an attempt to keep the Golden Bears from evening the game up with a triple.
Instead, referees held onto their whistle, calling a foul when Ames went up for his shot just beyond the 3-point line.
Ames hit the free throw to give Cal the lead and, eventually, the win.
Shrewsberry then unloaded on the officiating crew, at one point charging at them once the game was over.
Shrewsberry was held back by fellow Notre Dame coaches and players during the ugly scene.
Saturday morning, Shrewsberry issued an apology for his blowup.
“I want to apologize for what took place immediately after the Cal game last night,” the statement read. “My actions were inappropriate and not symbolic of the leader I strive to be and what Notre Dame expects of its coaches and educators. I will learn from this lack of judgement and be better in the future. I want to apologize to our team, our University and its leaders, to Coach Madsen and his team, and to the ACC, as my actions were unacceptable.”
