Texas Tech basketball coach Mark Adams suspended for ‘racially insensitive’ comment

Texas Tech suspended men’s basketball coach Mark Adams on Sunday for “racially insensitive” remarks he made last week.

Adams “referenced Bible verses about workers, teachers, parents, and slaves serving their masters,” according to Texas Tech.

Athletic director Kirby Hocutt said he learned about the comments on Friday. Adams was allowed to coach Texas Tech’s regular season finale on Saturday against Oklahoma State before the suspension was announced Sunday morning.
