The Atlantic Sun Conference has suspended a referee who ejected Jacksonville University's men's basketball coach Jordan Mincy from Saturday's game against North Alabama. 

According to The Florida Times-Union, the referee was suspended for the rest of the 2023-24 season and post-season. 

The conference said in an emailed stated that the official was suspended â€śdue to conduct not in alignment with the expectations of the ASUN” stemming from an interaction with Mincy over a foul call early in the game.

Athletic director Alex Ricker-Gilbert told the Times-Union that the official's behavior was "completely unacceptable." 

"God is good! Never in my career have I experienced what happened today," Mincy posted. "Thankful for the university, our staff, and the young men I coach daily! Keep grinding and building!"

The officiating crew was Joe Prince, Adam James and Raymond Lightfoot. The ASUN did not identify the official involved and Ricker-Gilbert also declined to name him. 

The incident happened just three minutes into the game when Dolphins guard Robert McCray V made what appeared to be a clean steal and was called for a foul. Mincy asked the official for an explanation and was immediately hit with a technical foul and ejected. That was the first time Mincy had received a technical foul in his three season at JU. 

"God is good! Never in my career have I experienced what happened today," Mincy posted. "Thankful for the university, our staff, and the young men I coach daily! Keep grinding and building!"
