[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132449824, member: 1488840"] I definitely see your point. It could go both ways for sure. However... I hope it will help the public because it takes a chronic drunk driver, perhaps even an alcoholic (I can't say for sure but we can both agree the hallmarks are all there) off the road. I expect, as happens to most people after a DUI, that he will lose his license after this. He will also have to face some legal consequences as this wasn't his first offense. I look at it like this: it makes the roads safer for my family and yours, and if this was you or me it wouldn't (and shouldn't) make any difference - we'd face the same legal consequences. Just because Huggins is a WV celebrity shouldn't matter; rule of law applies to all of us. It doesn't always, unfortunately, and sometimes the heads of the law look the other way. Doesn't make it right. Ultimately though, I think you and I see Huggins the same way. I see where you think it could drive him deeper because he's so driven. That's why I think he had to be let go - he couldn't commit himself to getting better because basketball would always be his first priority. We see this all the time also - the person who does a little rehab, comes out saying and doing the right things at first, but falls right back into the old habits. Sometimes this happens because of the people you hang with. Sometimes this happens because of the stress that occurs in your life. Without the stress and the constant smoozing that Huggins had to do, he will have a better chance of success if/when he does rehab. But, this is the best approach in my mind, and what would be best for Bob Huggins in the long run. Regardless of what you or I say or feel, in the long run it all falls on Bob Huggins to seek out and succeed. It was his bad choices that got him here and it will be his choices that determine the outcome. Perhaps in a year he's back on the sidelines, perhaps this is the end of the line for a HOF career. Ultimately, it will all be determined by him. [/QUOTE]
