Idaho State Coach Suspended: Idaho State coach Joe O’Brien has been suspended for one game by the Big Sky Conference for criticizing officials after a loss to Portland State. O’Brien will miss Idaho State’s game against Northern Arizona after violating a rule that prohibits coaches from criticizing officials in public gatherings or with news media representatives present. Big Sky Conference commissioner Doug Fullerton said coaches are reminded of the rule before the start of the season and are fully aware of the consequences. [1/31/07]
