Big West Conference Commissioner Dennis Farrell reprimanded UC Riverside Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach Tim Cupello for comments he made following a conference match on Friday, Sept. 28, 2012.
At the conclusion of the game, Cupello confronted the match officials in a manner that led to him being issued a post-match red card. He then issued a post-match tweet that further criticized the officials.
Farrell noted that both the post-match confrontation and public criticism of officials are contrary to sportsmanship regulations outlined in the Big West Bylaws.
