Doug Gottlieb Throws Chair After Green Bay Blows Late Lead to Robert Morris

His dual coach-radio host profile magnifies scrutiny of the outburst.

Overview

  • Robert Morris won 80-78 at the Resch Center after Green Bay led by 11 with 3:54 remaining.
  • A 10-second violation with 35.7 seconds left preceded a go-ahead Colonials three, a split Phoenix trip to the line, and Nikolaos Chitikoudis’ winning layup with 2.4 seconds.
  • The ESPN+ broadcast showed Gottlieb tossing a chair as he exited to the tunnel, and outlets shared the clip widely.
  • Gottlieb called the finish "embarrassing," cited a "lack of communication" on the violation, criticized discipline and perimeter defense, and said his team "played like idiots."
  • Hired to rebuild a 4-28 program, Gottlieb has Green Bay at 4-6 in 2025-26 after matching last season’s win total, with this game opening Horizon League play.
