He never seems to have a problem driving right on the basketball court.

Typical hyper-overreaction from many boneyarders about a garden variety traffic offense. Talk of arrests, surety bonds, court appearances, blah, blah, blah. You'd think Jalen was the second coming of John Dillinger. Much ado about very little. It was a stupid thing to do, but he paid a price for it, hopefully learned a lesson, and he's already moved on.

So all those here who said he should be suspended for multiple games and that ollie has lost control of the team were wrong?

I'd be worried it if was Purvis or Selvie in a scooter

Not sure there was any overreaction. He was arrested, charged with a misdemeanor, which got subbed to an infraction. I see it all the time.

Time to move on from this.

They'd definitely both have wheels on the lines.

At least I can finally sleep at night now.

Glad to see that his next court appearance will be on the hardwood on Thursday.

There wasn't. Typical boneyard revisionist history.

I wonder who all those posters calling for multiple game suspensions are? I think the overwhelming majority said one game was reasonable.

 

[Hamms30]

I thought a game was reasonable, more so to drive home the point of responsibility and what could have happened if he was hurt than the traffic violation.

Kid dumped a scooter...

Bottom line: 1) Don't do stupid stuff. 2) Don't leave your busted scooter in the road when you fail to remember rule #1.

Really the bigger deal in my opinion was Jalen putting his season at risk. Dumb. I'm sure Ollie talked to him about that.

When a reporter asked Dillinger why he robbed banks, his response was, "because that's where the money is."

Purvis would have stepped out of bounds.

Well, other than some individuals' 15 or so pages of posts. Lesson learned for Jalen, teammates, and indirectly even other athletic department scooterists, and time indeed for all to scoot forward. Go Huskies!

Pretty sure that was Willy Sutton.

Nevertheless it reminds me of a similar basketball quote. Little Spud Webb was asked why he drove the lane so much with all those big guys in there. His reply of course: "Because that's where the basket is."

Most people don’t get arrested for garden variety traffic offenses.

But, respectfully, to be clear, he was not, in fact, arrested - that was misreported (or fake news, lol). He was issued a summons.
