LUBBOCK, Texas -- Below are statements from Texas Tech head women's basketball coach Krista Gerlich and senior guard Bre'Amber Scott in regards to events late in Saturday's victory at TCU.
"Our program is disappointed with the behavior exhibited by Bre'Amber Scott during the fourth quarter of our win at TCU. While we understand the emotions of high-intensity competition, there are no grounds for Bre's poor decision to perform an inappropriate gesture towards the crowd as she exited the court. Her actions were in direct conflict with the values and standards that we hold our student-athletes, coaches and staff to here at Texas Tech. We are working with Bre to ensure this is a learning experience moving forward." – Krista Gerlich
"I would like to apologize to my teammates, our coaching staff, our fans and our administration for my actions at the end of Saturday's game. This action took away from a great team victory on the road in front of so many of our fans. Coach Gerlich and her staff stress the importance of winning with 'pride, passion and purpose,' and my actions last weekend do not represent the core values of our program. I look forward to learning from this experience as we move forward as a team with our season." – Bre'Amber Scott
