Two days after offering an apology for making a racially offensive analogy following his team's loss to Xavier, Creighton coach Greg McDermott has been suspended from all team activities, the school announced Thursday evening.
McDermott said via Twitter that he accepted and agreed with the suspension, adding "mistakes come with consequences."
“After our Creighton men’s basketball team returned to Omaha earlier today, Fr. Hendrickson and I engaged with other senior leaders in dialogue and discussion regarding appropriate sanctions for the remarks made by Head Men’s Basketball Coach Greg McDermott that were not in alignment with Creighton’s commitment to racial equity, diversity and respect,” athletic director Bruce Rasmussen’s statement read.
