The 6-foot-9 Gates, headed to the University of Cincinnati next season, is a senior averaging 21.2 points and 10.6 rebounds a game.
"He was out for that one game and possibly a tournament game," McBride said. "It was a violation of team rules."

Withrow basketball star Yancy Gates will return to the lineup Thursday for a D-I tournament game against Mount Healthy, coach Walt McBride said today.
Gates was held out of Friday's season finale for disciplinary reasons. Withrow (17-3) beat Hughes 51-41 without Gates.
McBride will not elaborate on why Gates was suspended, but said Gates will return when the Tigers start sectional play against Mount Healthy (at Mason) on Thursday.

If Withrow makes a run at a state title berth over the next three games, the second half of the Tigers' game Tuesday night will be remembered as the pivotal moment that sent them there.
Withrow bounced back from a sluggish first half and six-point halftime deficit to outlast Talawanda in overtime, 79-71, in the UC Division I Upper Bracket sectional final at Fifth Third Arena.
Withrow (20-3) advances to meet Oak Hills in a Division I district title game at 8 p.m. Saturday at University of Dayton Arena.
Yancy Gates, Withrow's star 6-foot-9 senior forward, had just six points at halftime, and Withrow was shooting just 32.4 percent from the field. But Gates made 10-of-13 shots he took the rest of the way, finishing with 33 points and 14 rebounds. "My team got me going," said Gates. "They boosted my confidence. We kind of had a slow first half."
