Texas Tech suspended men's basketball coach Mark Adams on Sunday over "an inappropriate, unacceptable, and racially insensitive comment" he made to a player.Athletic director Kirby Hocutt said he was made aware of the incident Friday and issued a written reprimand before deciding to suspend Adams to investigate further.
"Adams was encouraging the student-athlete to be more receptive to coaching and referenced Bible verses about workers, teachers, parents, and slaves serving their masters," the statement said. "Adams immediately addressed this with the team and apologized." The 66-year-old Adams is in his second season. He replaced Chris Beard, who left to coach Texas, his alma mater.
