Cal AD Calls Montgomery's Shove Of Crabbe 'Unacceptable'

Cal head coach Mike Montgomery viscously shoved Allen Crabbe during a second half timeout in the team's 76-68 win over USC on Sunday. 

"It worked, didn't it?" said Montgomery with a laugh before saying that he would do it again.

In a statement later, Montgomery said, "I have great passion for this game and tonight, I let my emotions get away from me in the heat of the moment. While my intent was to motivate our student-athletes, my behavior was inappropriate and I apologize for my actions."

Barbour's full statement:

"Sunday's game was an emotional one for everyone who cares deeply about our men's basketball program, and the Bears certainly showed tremendous resolve coming back to earn a win over USC. However, it is unacceptable for our coaches to have physical contact with student-athletes regardless of the circumstances. The second-half incident was certainly out of character for Mike Montgomery, and I am confident that something like this will not happen again."

Crabbe spent a few minutes in a tunnel near the Cal bench before being reinserted in the game.

"Just spur of the moment," Crabbe said. "It was a emotional game at the time. He was trying to motivate me. Everything's fine. It's under the bridge. He's my coach."

Lee, the No. 28 overall prospect in the Class of 2013, becomes the fourth top-30 recruit to commit to Kentucky in the past 14 days, joining twins Andrew (No. 2 overall recruit in the ESPN 100) and Aaron Harrison (No. 4) and guard James Young (No. 5).

Lee attends Deer Valley High School, which is located a short drive away from the Cal campus in Berkeley.

"Everyone made me feel like I was part of their family," Lee said. "Being far away from home, that was important. The coaches treated me like I was their son."
