[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132449300, member: 1488840"] I'll answer this. Most people don't lose their jobs because of DUI's because their job isn't dependent upon public perception. Some jobs do - teachers, police officers, and especially coaches (why Brown is on the hot seat, right?) - to name a few. Again, this wasn't just an isolated incident. Regardless of how one feels about the remarks he made on that radio program, his bosses didn't like it - because of public perception. So, he was already treading on thin ice. Add on the lack of wins that are commiserate to the pay, Gee wanting him gone, and some other in-house stuff, Huggins had to watch his step. Now, who does this help? For one, it helps the public. A person with that Blood-Alcohol Content isn't like the person who just had a beer or couple glasses of wine with dinner. A person with a BAC of 2.1 is someone who is playing Russian Roulette with every car that passes. A person who drives around with a cooler in the vehicle? A person who carries trash bags to fill with empties? That's indicative of someone with an alcohol problem. So, secondly, and most importantly, it helps Huggins. Without the pressure of leading this basketball team now he can focus on himself. Now, he can go to rehab without worry. Now he can get healthier, mentally and physically. He can get back to being someone who can be trusted to do the right thing again - the very same thing he attempts to teach his charges. Basketball is important. Wins are important. But, most importantly, Huggins is important. Self-destruction is the worst. Maybe this can serve as a wake-up call, allow him to get on the straight and narrow, and perhaps even allow him to get back to the one thing he loves to do most of all - coaching. [/QUOTE]
