KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin is doing his best not to comment about Southeastern Conference officials or the reprimand he received from the league.
Kiffin says he'd like to speak but he's been warned one more reprimand could result in additional penalties or a suspension.
On Sunday, Kiffin questioned why officials failed to penalize Alabama's Terrence Cody for unsportsmanlike conduct when the defensive lineman removed and threw his helmet after blocking a field goal on the last play of Alabama's 12-10 victory in Tuscaloosa.
The Volunteers coach was also reprimanded this year after he accused Florida coach Urban Meyer of violating NCAA recruiting rules.
