[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132443068, member: 1812660"] I know in my profession a second DUI not only loses your current job, but also your license to do that job anywhere else in the state. Mine is not the only one. Also unless you are an independent celebrity, being employed in a position where you are within the public eye it is expected that your conduct in public is held to a higher standard. This isn’t Bob from accounting who only a handful of people know that he is not facing severe employment consequences for a DUI. This is the highest paid public person in the state and it looks bad to give him child glove treatment. I don't see any reason for your willingness to forgo termination outside of you think: 1. This is a run of the mill DUI and that those are not worthy of termination regardless of one prior offense. 2. You think that basketball is so important that Huggins should be given more grace than most would get for the sake of the program. 3. You hate Gee so much you will be opposed to any and all decisions he makes. Regarding the last one, 2 things can be true at once. Gee is an incompetent asshat AND Bob did something with this DUI, and this DUI alone, that most University presidents would have pushed him out. [/QUOTE]
