Campbell, who is black, was reportedly stunned by the comment and did not respond. He later told his teammates what Holliday had said to him.

The team’s captains confronted Holliday about the comment and he apologized. However, they decided to suspend him for a week after learning that he had made similar comments in the past.

“Coach Holliday’s comments are completely unacceptable and have no place in our program or in society,” Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder said in a statement. “We do not condone racism or bigotry of any kind.”

Holliday will miss four games while he is suspended. Assistant Coach Toby Greene will serve as the interim Head Coach during that time.
