LUBBOCK, Texas – Mark Adams has resigned as head coach of the Texas Tech men’s basketball program. This follows Adams University’s suspension and investigation into his interactions with his players and staff.
Following this investigation, Texas Technical Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt determined that the racially insensitive comment was unintentional and an isolated incident. After the comment, Adams immediately apologized to the team.
“My lifelong goal was to help and have a positive impact on my players and be a part of the Texas men’s basketball team,” Adams said. “However, both the University and I believe this incident has become a distraction to the Texas Tech men’s basketball team and the University, about which I care so deeply.”
