“Juluke Jabbar behavior during the altercation prior to the game reflects unacceptable behavior and is not aligned with the standards of the Southeast Conference,” said the SEC Commissioner, Greg Sankey, in a statement. “The coaches are expected to be leaders and unsealed situations, and that did not happen in this circumstance. This suspension is appropriate, and any future misconduct Juluke will result in a more severe disciplinary action.”
The players of the Gators and the Tigers participated in incidents prior to the game. However, Juluke’s participation was not explained in the launch of the SEC.
He apologized for his role and suggested that he got into an incident with a Tigres player.

“First, I would like to apologize to the universities of Florida and LSU, their teams, personal and fans. I also sincerely apologize to the young athlete and his family,” he said, through ESPN. “On Saturday, I reacted in a way that I am not proud. There is no excuse for my behavior and I assume all the responsibility of my actions. In this game, emotional situations occur and bad reactions occur. I regret my reaction and I promise to use this moment to strengthen my emotional intelligence.
“I know that more of us is expected as coaches, and I promise to meet that expectation. I think that growth is in property and learning of the good and the bad. I intend to use this situation as a moment of teaching, not only for me, but for those to whom I impact. Again, I offer my sincere apologies to the institutions and families and families involved.”
Juluke will miss games against the Aggies of Miami Hurricanes, Texas Lonchorns and Texas A&M.
