Fresno State coach Steve Cleveland, left, shakes hands with Paul George as he walks to the bench after fouling out in the closing moments of Fresno St's 74-66 loss to Louisiana Tech at the Western Athletic Conference Tournament in Reno, Nev., Thursday, March 11, 2010.

PROVO — Steve Cleveland told the parents of Paul George they had nothing to apologize for.
