Maybe someone can embed the play...timing is in the article. I saw it on TV last night as it happened...

You want to know when the conference agrees with the coach that a poor call was made but don't want to admit it?.....they fine the SCHOOL and not the COACH!

Per ESPN.com
-----------------------------------------
STATE COLLEGE, PA. -- The Big Ten Conference has fined Penn State $10,000 for comments made by head coach Patrick Chambers after a loss to Maryland on Saturday night.

Chambers was upset after an offensive foul was called on Nittany Lions center Jordan Dickerson with 1:50 left and Penn State trailing 70-68. Dickerson was trying to set a screen when he was pulled to the floor by Maryland forward Evan Smotrycz. It was Dickerson's fifth foul, so he left the game. Maryland won 76-73.

Chambers called it "the worst call that I've ever seen in my entire life". The Big Ten office says he violated the conference's sportsmanship policy.

It's standard practice in the Big Ten to (1) fine the school and (2) not comment on the call. This tells me absolutely NOTHING.

Great call! The coach made a comment about how the defender wasn't even involved in the play, etc. You are right coach, because he got taken out by a huge illegal screen!!

This is a great call. I only wish the B1G would come out and publicly laud the official for getting it right while shaming the coach and idiotic "analysts" in the process. But, I suppose that's too much to ask.
