DENVER — New Mexico State men's basketball coach Reggie Theus has been reprimanded for violating the Western Athletic Conference sportsmanship policy, according to a WAC press release.The violation occurred during the March 8 WAC Tournament game against Boise State when Theus left the bench and went onto the court after a New Mexico State player was intentionally fouled, the WAC said.
"While I understand the emotion that occurs during a game, the WAC has set standards that coaches and student-athletes are expected to follow," WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. "Coach Theus' actions clearly violated those standards and cannot be tolerated."
