INDIANAPOLIS — The Horizon League suspended Oakland basketball coach Greg Kampe for one game due to engaging with an official in an unacceptable way that violated league regulations after a loss to Robert Morris.
Horizon League Commissioner Julie Roe Lach made the announcement Tuesday, adding an official that made a significant error late in the game will not work for the league again.
Kampe’s confrontation came after Kam Woods made 2 of 3 free throws with a second left to lift Robert Morris to a 73-71 victory over the Kampe-led Golden Grizzlies on Saturday in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
The 69-year-old Kampe will miss Thursday night’s home game against Green Bay.
Kampe is in his 41st season at the school in suburban Detroit, making him the longest-serving men’s basketball coach at a Division I program.
The Golden Grizzlies are 9-13 overall and 6-5 in the Horizon League, following their upset of Kentucky in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
