Lubbock, Texas ? Three years ago, the Big 12 Conference slapped Mark Mangino with a $5,000 fine after the Kansas University football coach had blasted an official’s call.

At the time, it was the largest fine in league history. On Tuesday, however, that record was doubled when the Big 12 saddled Texas Tech coach Mike Leach with a $10,000 fine for a similar offense.

Mangino had been miffed about a controversial offensive-pass-interference call after Texas overcame a 23-13 deficit in the last 4:12 and kept its BCS hopes alive with a 27-23 victory Nov. 13, 2004 at Memorial Stadium.

Leach’s fine also involved a game with Texas. After Saturday’s 59-43 loss to the Longhorns, Leach reacted by calling the officiating “a complete travesty.”

Leach was upset that officials disallowed two Texas Tech touchdowns in the third quarter, the first on an overrule after reviewing video that showed the receiver let the ball hit the ground. A TD pass on the next play was negated by a holding penalty. Leach also wanted, but didn’t get, a flag for roughing the quarterback.

The Big 12 did not say why the Leach penalty was twice what was levied against Mangino, but it may have been because Mangino apologized for his remarks hours later. Leach did not apologize and stressed Monday that he wouldn’t.

Leach was issued a public reprimand, and the Big 12 “put him on notice that any future such behavior will result in a more serious penalty, including a possible suspension,” the conference said in a news release.

He said the conference needed “to take a serious look” at having officials from other conferences call the Tech-Texas games as well as others involving matchups where he claimed there is proven to be a bias by officials.
