Mark Adams has been suspended, Texas Tech announced on Sunday morning.

According to a press release, Adams has been suspended after making an “inappropriate, unacceptable, and racially insensitive comment” to a player on the team.

Here are more details from Texas Tech’s press release:

On Friday, Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt was made aware of an incident regarding a coaching session between Adams and a member of the men’s basketball team. 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. Adams immediately addressed this with the team and apologized.

Upon learning of the incident, Hocutt addressed this matter with Adams and issued him a written reprimand. Hocutt subsequently made the decision to suspend Adams effective immediately in order to conduct a more thorough inquiry of Adams’ interactions with his players and staff.

This incident took place on Friday, according to the press release. Adams coached Texas Tech in a 71-68 loss at home to Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Texas Tech’s announcement does not say how long the suspension is for. The Red Raiders are the No. 9 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and will face West Virginia in the 1st round on Wednesday.

Adams is in his 2nd season as Texas Tech’s head coach. The Red Raiders are 16-15 overall and 5-13 in Big 12 play this season.
