""Gottlieb's postgame comments do not reflect the League's values or sportsmanship expectations," the Horizon League said in a statement announcing the suspension. "The Horizon League considers this matter closed and will have no further comment.""
""I'd like to apologize to the Horizon League and the officials for my disparaging comments following Sunday's game," Gottlieb said Wednesday in a statement. "I understand and appreciate how difficult their job is, and respect what they do for the sport of basketball. I will be better moving forward.""
""It's the exact same play as the other end -- could not be more similar," Gottlieb said after the game. "And yet, every time they drove, it was a foul. And every time we did, it was mixed.""
Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb received a one-game suspension from the Horizon League for criticizing officials after a 75-72 loss to Milwaukee, including slamming a table and using an expletive during a postgame news conference. The suspension takes effect for Green Bay's upcoming game at Oakland. Gottlieb issued an apology to the Horizon League and the officials and pledged to be better. The game ended when Milwaukee's Stevie Elam stole the ball and made two free throws with 1 second left. Milwaukee shot 30 of 37 from the line; Green Bay was 14 of 18, with fouls called 23-18 in favor of Milwaukee.
