Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott offered to resign if players asked him to after he made racially insensitive remarks in a recent locker room speech.
"This is their team," McDermott said in an interview on 1620 The Zone (via Jon Nyatawa of the Omaha World-Herald). "If they would have chosen to have me walk away, I would have walked away. But that is not what they wanted."
The head coach came under fire for his post-game speech that used slavery imagery after a Feb. 27 loss to Xavier.
"Guys, we got to stick together," McDermott told his players.
