RICHMOND, Va. — The Coastal Athletic Association has publicly reprimanded North Carolina A&T men’s basketball coach Montè Ross after an incident following the Aggies’ Dec. 31 home loss to Northeastern, according to conference officials.
CAA commissioner Joe D’Antonio said Ross violated the league’s sportsmanship policy late in the game, which ended with Northeastern pulling away for an 85–74 victory at Ellis Corbett Sports Center. With 25 seconds remaining, Ross was assessed a technical foul. After the final horn, the coach confronted the officiating crew as they exited the floor and again in the area near the locker rooms, the league said.
“I’ve spoken with Coach Ross and let him know that his actions toward the game officials were unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” D’Antonio said in a statement. “Any further incidents during the remainder of the season will result in a more severe penalty.”…
