SECTION 2. Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls
ARTICLE 1. There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct or any act that interferes with orderly game administration on the part of players, substitutes, coaches, authorized attendants or any other persons subject to the rules, before the game, during the game or between periods. Infractions for these acts by players are administered as either live-ball or dead-ball fouls depending on when they occur.
a. Specifically prohibited acts and conduct include:
1. No player, substitute, coach or other person subject to the rules shall use abusive, threatening or obscene language or gestures, or engage in such acts that provoke ill will or are demeaning to an opponent, to game officials or to the image of the game, including but not limited to:
(a) Pointing the finger(s), hand(s), arm(s) or ball at an opponent, or imitating the slashing of the throat.
Earlier this week, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott publicly reprimanded #7 wearing the white jersey in the photo, for a quote that was taken out of context, where he called #7 in the maroon jersey, a dirty player.
I've complained before, that the officiating was terrible, but this should make it clear how bad it really was. This was the second foul that the officials missed on the line of scrimmage.
So has Larry Scott reprimanded the Pac-12 officials and #7 for Arizona State, for a very clear foul in this image?
