BOLLA REPRIMANDED BY WAC FOR RIPPING REFS
University of Hawai'i women's basketball coach Jim Bolla was reprimanded by Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson yesterday for critical comments he made about game officials last week.
The WAC said Bolla violated the league's sportsmanship code. Bolla made the comments about the disparity of foul shots after the Rainbow Wahine's 74-69 loss to Nevada on Feb. 9 at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Said Benson: "Coach Bolla's comments clearly violated the WAC code and will not be tolerated. Any further violation may result in him being suspended for a minimum of one game."
In a press release from the WAC yesterday, Bolla apologized for his actions.
