REPRIMANDS

The NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee has reprimanded Iowa State University head men's basketball coach Larry Eustachy for his behavior at the end of the Midwest Regional Final of the 2000 Division I Men's Basketball Championship.

In addition, the committee recommends to future Division I Men's Basketball Committees that additional sanctions be imposed on Eustachy if he again materially violates an NCAA misconduct provision.

The incident occurred during the final seconds of Iowa State's game against Michigan State University. Eustachy directed profane language toward game officials, then walked onto the playing floor to verbally abuse them further. The officials subsequently ejected Eustachy from the game.

"The committee acknowledges and appreciates the otherwise exemplary behavior displayed by coach Eustachy during the championship," said Craig Thompson, committee chair and commissioner of the Mountain West Conference, "particularly the apologies he offered after the game and in subsequent weeks. But we must address the fact that he did commit a serious act of misconduct; his actions were unacceptable and discredited himself, his university and the championship.

"With the emphasis on this issue that college presidents and the basketball committee have adopted," Thompson continued, "we felt we needed to take this action to remind coaches, administrators and student-athletes of their obligation to make good sporting behavior a high priority."
