The Trans Tasman Netball League has given Tactix coach Sue Hawkins a reprimand for televised complaints about the umpiring during her team's loss to the NSW Swifts.
The Christchurch-based Tactix copped more than 20 more penalties than their Australian counterparts, leading Hawkins to question the officiating during a mid-game TV interview on Sunday.
She pleaded guilty to breaching the ANZ Championship's code of conduct when she made the comments during the third quarter of the round 12 ANZ Championship match.
Her unreserved apology and no applicable prior record were taken into account when she was issued the reprimand.
