"I want to apologize for what took place immediately after the Cal game last night, Shrewsberry said in a statement released by Notre Dame. My actions were inappropriate and not symbolic of the leader I strive to be and what Notre Dame expects of its coaches and educators. I will learn from this lack of judgement and be better in the future."
"The ACC, in issuing the reprimand, said it considers the matter now closed. Shrewsberry is expected to meet with reporters in a regularly scheduled ACC teleconference on Monday and Notre Dame does not play again until a home game on Jan. 10 against Clemson. Shrewsberry aggressively confronted the referee, the conference said, adding that the unsportsmanlike behavior that was displayed is unacceptable and tarnishes the on-court play between these institutions."
Micah Shrewsberry apologized after he charged toward an official following Notre Dame's controversial 72-71 loss to Cal and received a public reprimand from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The contested sequence involved what became a four-point play in the final seconds. With Notre Dame up by three, Logan Imes fouled Cal's Dai Dai Ames as he attempted a game-tying 3-pointer; Ames made the 3 and the ensuing free throw to give Cal the lead. Shrewsberry briefly charged off the court toward referee Adam Flore, who had already left the floor. Shrewsberry apologized to his team, Notre Dame leadership, the ACC, Cal coach Mark Madsen and the Bears. The ACC said it considers the matter closed, and Shrewsberry is expected to meet reporters on Monday; Notre Dame's next game is Jan. 10 at home against Clemson. Officials changed their ruling multiple times during the sequence.
