Davis fined for criticizing refs

PARK RIDGE, Ill., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- PARK RIDGE, Ill., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- The Big Ten Conference Thursday fined Indiana $10,000 for coach Mike Davis' post-game comments following Saturday's 66-64 loss to Butler.

Davis complained about the officiating after the game, stating, "if I wasn't the lowest paid coach in the Big Ten, I would really tell you how I feel about this game."

Davis also said the Hoosiers had been victimized by officiating throughout the season, adding he felt referees were not held accountable for their actions.

His comments violated the Big Ten agreement on sportsmanlike conduct.
