ACC Issues Public Reprimand to Notre Dame’s Micah Shrewsberry After Referee Confrontation

The conference closed its review after a disputed four-point play decided Cal’s 72-71 win in Berkeley.

Overview

  • The ACC said Shrewsberry aggressively confronted an official after the game, deemed it a sportsmanship violation, and issued no suspension.
  • Notre Dame released Shrewsberry’s apology in which he called his actions inappropriate and vowed to learn from the lapse.
  • Video shows Shrewsberry charging toward referee Adam Flore before players and staff intervened to restrain him.
  • The decisive sequence featured a foul on Logan Imes that was called, overturned, then reinstated as a shooting foul as Dai Dai Ames hit a 3 with 5.5 seconds left, and Ames converted the free throw.
  • Cal moved to 13-2 and Notre Dame to 10-5; the ACC said the matter is closed, and Shrewsberry is expected to participate in Monday’s routine league teleconference.
