SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Arizona State defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales has been reprimanded and fined $5,000 by the Pac-12 for public comments about the conference's officiating program.

Commissioner Larry Scott announced the sanctions Wednesday. Scott made the comments after the Sun Devils' loss to Stanford on Thursday night.

"The Pac-12 has specific rules that prohibit our coaches from making public comments about officiating, and this prohibition includes comments that create doubts about the credibility of the Conference's officiating program," Scott said in a statement. "We have an obligation to our membership to enforce the Conference rules which they have approved."
