The Horizon League has suspended Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb for one game after his comments criticizing the officiating in the Phoenix’s loss to Milwaukee.
Gottlieb said the officiating in Sunday’s game was inconsistent, prompting the league to take disciplinary action. The suspension will require Green Bay to play one game without its head coach on the sideline.
What led to the suspension
Following the loss to Milwaukee, Gottlieb publicly questioned the consistency of the officiating. The Horizon League later announced a one-game ban in response to those remarks.
No additional details about the league’s decision were provided in the announcement.
