Olson accepts Big Ten reprimand for bench conduct
Iowa coach Lute Olson will not appeal a Big Ten public reprimand issued by Commissioner Wayne Duke after Olson criticized officiating. Olson, ahead of a Lafayette Indiana game against Purdue, said he would not appeal and accepted the action as guidance for stricter enforcement of bench conduct rules. The reprimand is tied to his postgame remarks after a 71-70 loss to Michigan State, and carries a potential one game suspension if similar conduct occurs within 12 months.
