A statement from UC Davis Athletic Director Rocko DeLuca:

"After reviewing video of last night's incident at UCSB and discussing it with the Big West and Coach Les, I am immediately suspending Assistant Coach Metzger-Jones for one game pending further review of this incident. We have high expectations for our coaches and student-athletes, and we will hold accountable those who fail to meet our expectations."

On 2/15/23 the following additional statement has been made:

"After additional review and consultation, I have decided to extend assistant men's basketball coach Jonathan Metzger-Jones suspension from all team activities for one week including the two upcoming contests. Coach Metzger-Jones has acknowledged his conduct fell way short of our expectations and has accepted full responsibility for his actions. We look forward to supporting our men's basketball program tonight against CSUN."
