Editor: The following is a press release from the Missouri Valley Conference office.
(St. Louis, MO) – Missouri Valley Conference Commissioner Doug Elgin has announced that Illinois State head basketball coach Dan Muller has been reprimanded for remarks made on Wednesday, Jan. 23, following the Redbirds’ loss at Bradley at Peoria’s Carver Arena.
“We encourage all coaches and administrators to utilize proper channels when communicating on any officiating matters,” said Elgin. “Coach Muller’s remarks in a public setting were inappropriate. We consider this matter closed, and there will be no further comments from the league office.”
What Muller Said
“I didn’t deserve it at all. It was the most ridiculous call I’ve ever seen. I didn’t say one word. It was unbelievably unprofessional,” said Muller. “I waved my hands like that maybe twice, and he T’s me up from 50 feet. Completely undeserved and unprofessional. I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe when I turned around and a technical was being reported.” (Courtesy of pantagraph.com)
Editor: This Elgin’s second disciplinary move this week. Evansville coach Walter McCarty has been suspended one game for his comments about officials.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
