Texas tech suspends Bball coach for telling players “there is always master and servant”

Texas Tech has suspended Mark Adams pending an investigation into insensitive comments he made to a player last week, source told @stadium.
Adams told Stadium that the comments he made were not racist, and that he was quoting a bible verse when he told one of his players that there is “always a master and a servant.”
“I was quoting the scripture,” Adams told Stadium.
Adams addressed the team the following day, but said it was to explain the situation. He said he did not apologize.
“One of my coaches said it bothered the player,” Adams said.
According to sources, Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt was notified of the incident by the family of the player late last week.
There was also a separate incident earlier in the season the school is also investigating in which Adams spit on the player. Adams told Stadium he had gone to the doctor, had a bad cough and slobbered on the player during the game.
“I can spit on you whenever I want to,” one person close to the situation said Adams responded to the player.
“I don’t remember saying that,” Adams said.
Adams is in his second season at the helm after being promoted from his spot as an assistant coach. Texas Tech was 27-10 last season and went to the Sweet 16, but the Red Raiders have struggled this season and are 16-15 overall and 5-13 in Big 12 play.
Texas Tech plays West Virginia in the first round of the Big 12 tourney on Wednesday.

Weak, weak, weak. And even more weak minded are the admin who think it’s reasonable to suspend a coach over this.
Everything is offensive to someone. Have a back bone for and tell a student to toughen up for crying out loud.

College administrations should be selective with what they involve parents with. This is not one of those situations that should involve parents. It amazed me the amount of parent involvement present when I coached collegiately.

Texas Tech just found a way to get Chris Beard back.

Haha, yep this is justified

Doesn’t his suspension validate his statement?
Posted on 3/5/23 at 2:16 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
I’d bet a lot of those alleged statements are total fabrications.

The master servant thing is dumb and as long as he can cite the quote he'll be fine but if he actually spit on a player and told him he could do it whenever he wants he should be fired.

So the coach admits that he spit on the players and he remembers that full well. But then all of a sudden he has memory loss right after that moment?

This team sounds weak. No wonder they’re losing half their games.
