Pac-12 reprimands UW’s Sarkisian for disclosing ‘private’ apology about officiating

Pac-12 Conference commissioner Larry Scott reprimanded Washington coach Steve Sarkisian on Thursday for “disclosing private communications” Sarkisian had with the conference office about game officiating.

“The Pac-12 has specific rules that prohibit our coaches from making public comments about officiating and from discussing private communications with the Conference office,” Scott said in a statement. “We have an obligation to our membership to enforce the Conference rules which they have approved.”

At his press conference Monday, Sarkisian said that he had received an apology from the Pac-12 for a phantom penalty that negated at UW touchdown in the Huskies’ 41-31 loss at No. 13 UCLA last Friday.

“What good is an apology? It’s not going to get me seven points back,” Sarkisian told The Seattle Times on Monday.

This is turning into quite a tragicomedy

UW should fire him with cause. Breach of ethics.

AtomicDawg

the board of regents can't be happy with this. It seems there is a lack of comportment in montlake these days. That's not very classy of a coach to do that.

Wait a minute? Why is Sark bitching about penalties? Didn't he say penalties don't matter?

CuntWaffle

If you listened to it he said it in a very smart ass tone. He tried to save face by saying how they probably deserved most of the penalties... but this one was in a critical part of the game.

I got a lot of problems with Sark, but this ain't one. They have been shitty...goes both ways.

If you are a ref are you scared to call a questionable call against us? All Sark does during a game is just look dumbfounded and walk away when you tell him.

I think you're missing the point. It's the passive aggressive way that Sark brings it up as a means of pointing to it as why the loss wasn't his responsibility.

Sark you are once again towards the bottom in the NCAA in penalty yardage yet you are blaming the refs still?

How about show some accountability for once? No wonder you are 3-25 when trailing at halftime. Your players take on your personality and when times get rough you don't take it head on. Instead you play the fucking blame game all the time.

No wonder no player in this program minus Price actually shows some fucking accountability.

I miss when UW football was being ran by an adult.

WTF is a phantom penalty? Was it illusional or delusional?

Its an argument, and may be a good one. I've just always been amazed at how big of a pussy he's been around the refs and think he should have spoken up both in games and afterwards earlier. Maybe its years of playing soccer and having ongoing discussions with refs during games, but you can really get into their heads if you do it right by agreeing with them on good calls and riding them hard on iffy ones (heck, he's got people up high watching each play so he knows pretty quick if they screwed one up...I didn't see him ride a single ref once during the game on the Charles call). Done right I've seen it influence calls going forward. 50-50 calls will go against us now because we are an undisciplined team and because none of the refs are remotely worried about Sark riding them during the game or after...the precedent has already been set, and its been set by Sark himself.

Its too late in the year to see any change, but I'd rather point out Sark's numerous other failing than harp on this one (bitch about a legit bad call that was key but didn't change the outcome).

In the broader sense I see where you're coming from.
