Creighton University basketball head coach Greg McDermott was suspended indefinitely Thursday night for using racially insensitive language while speaking to the team after a loss last weekend.

McDermott had publicly apologized on both Tuesday and Wednesday for saying: “Guys, we got to stick together. We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can’t have anybody leave the plantation.”

After the suspension was announced, McDermott tweeted: “I made a mistake and I own it. Mistakes come with consequences, and I accept and agree with the suspension.”
