Is anyone surprised by this?

 

[Scoe]

He gets off easy will be out of the public eye for a whole year. DUI offenders don’t get punished severely enough especially repeat offenders. In Japan it’s a 3 year prison sentence.

 

[MJ1]

West Virginia officials feel Huggins will announce his retirement soon.

 

[TheHorde]

I hope the guy gets help for himself, his loved ones, and others. This is the right move.

Well, alcoholics rarely do thst up front.

It's usually deny, deflect and exolain. Takes some time to get siber and reflect before honesty, accountability and openness occur.

I'll call it now Huggy Bear will be on TV next Feb/Mar being paid to talk about college hoops.

In the plus column for WVU:

They've had 24 Rhodes Scolars to date, we just had our first a few years ago and haven't yet had a second. That doesn't come close to covering everything but it has to count for something.

States I would rather not live in than WV:

North Dakota
Oklahoma
Mississippi
Arkansas
Then it’s a toss-up with states like Alabama and Kansas.

I hope he makes an honest and open statement.

“My recent actions do not represent the values of the University or the leadership expected in this role. While I have always tried to represent our University with honor, I have let all of you – and myself – down. I am solely responsible for my conduct and sincerely apologize to the University community – particularly to the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program. I must do better, and I plan to spend the next few months focused on my health and my family so that I can be the person they deserve. “

You're spot on with all of that Chin but I was really hoping he admitted to having a problem.

Not today I guess.

The. "Incident" in May will probably keep him off national broadcasts....until next season. He will then be hired by TBS.

The following season he will be hired by Louisville.

That is the hardest thing for alcoholics to do, esp publicly. Even if he admits it to himself and family it will take awhile before he can admit it to all.

this is absolutely insane to read. dude was blacked out behind the wheel of a yukon denali on a city street.

how many beers would it take to get a 300+ lbs man to .21? 12? more??

A man of his size, I would set the over/under at 14.5. Unless he downed a dozen in under 2 hours. How much does it take for a man of his size and history to blackout is my question. I set that at 16.5.

The body cam footage will probably be brutally sad.

Fortunately, no one was injured or worse. That is the real story to me.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Abhorrent action by Huggins. He's lucky he didn't kill someone else or himself.

I've got plenty of experience with close friends and family struggling with the disease, trust me. Lost a few and also have a couple who have been winning the daily battle for decades.

Well, you don't expect him to go to a Taylor Swift concert without pregaming, do you?

 

[jibsey]

I wish him well and hope he takes the steps to get better. He has not looked well for a long time.
