Cleveland State has suspended assistant coach Jermaine Kimbrough one game for his tweets criticizing the officials after the Vikings lost narrowly at No. 3 Kentucky last Monday night.
Kimbrough's Twitter account has been deleted, but the tweets were captured by the Kentucky Sports Radio blog:
Kentucky shot 11 free throws in the game's final seven minutes to Cleveland State's two as part of a 24-7 run from which Cleveland State could not recover.
Now, Kimbrough has a long weekend to think about taking his frustrations to social media.
"CSU assistant coach Jermaine Kimbrough's comments about the officiating after the CSU-Kentucky men's basketball game on Monday, November 25th were unacceptable," CSU Director of Athletics John Parry said in a statement. "As a result, coach Kimbrough has been suspended for the CSU-Ball State game scheduled on Saturday, November 30th."
Per the Horizon League operating regulation: 'Coaches are prohibited from publicly criticizing officials'.
