Green Bay's Doug Gottlieb gets 1-game suspension from Horizon League after criticizing officiating
The Horizon League suspended Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb for one game after he criticized officiating and highlighted a large free-throw disparity in a close loss to Milwaukee.
- Wednesday: The Horizon League announced it had disciplined Green Bay men's basketball head coach Doug Gottlieb, suspending him one game after his postgame comments following a 75-72 loss on Feb. 15.
- After Sunday's game, Gottlieb criticized officiating, slammed the table, and used an expletive in his postgame news conference, violating league rules, the Horizon League said.
- Game stats show 23 fouls on Green Bay versus 18 on Milwaukee, with Milwaukee shooting 37 free throws to Green Bay's 19; Gottlieb said, `You had the exact same play at both ends on the last play of the game.`
- The suspension will be in effect Friday when Green Bay visits Oakland, so Gottlieb will miss that game and Kerry Rupp will serve as acting head coach.
- Green Bay's chancellor Michael Alexander and athletic director Josh Moon said they spoke with Gottlieb, appreciated his apology and felt a reprimand was preferable to suspension amid social media attention.
