Notre Dame MBB coach apologizes for charging ref after controversial call late in Cal loss

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry apologized Saturday, one day after charging at an official following his team’s controversial loss to Cal. He also received a public reprimand from the Atlantic Coast Conference for his actions.

Shrewsberry was angry over how what became a four-point play was officiated in the final seconds of the Fighting Irish’s 72-71 loss. The Irish, up by three, fouled Cal’s Dai Dai Ames — trying to keep him from attempting a game-tying 3-pointer.
