Wolf Pack football coach Brian Polian was fined $10,000 by Nevada after receiving two unsportsmanlike penalties during his team's 44-20 loss to Arizona on Saturday.
Athletic director Doug Knuth said in a statement he supports Polian's guidance of the program but that the coach's sideline behavior was not within the values of Wolf Pack athletics.
“I believe Coach Polian is moving the football program in the right direction, academically, athletically and socially," Knuth said in a news release. "Unfortunately, his sideline behavior and interaction with officials – regardless of being right or wrong about officiating decisions – is not aligned with the values of Wolf Pack athletics or the university.
