Iowa radio play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin has been suspended indefinitely for the remainder of basketball season after referring to a player as "King Kong."
Gabe Aguirre, vice president and general manager at Hawkeye Sports Properties, made the announcement on Friday.
"Hawkeye Sports Properties, the multimedia rights manager for University of Iowa Athletics, today announced it has suspended play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin indefinitely through the remaining basketball season. The decision follows an inappropriate comment made by Dolphin during Tuesday’s broadcast of the Iowa men’s basketball game against Maryland," Aguirre said in an emailed statement, per The Gazette.
