That's part of his problem. Too many enablers keep cutting him slack. Like Reason pointed out, he has been given a new lease on life after his heart attack and this is how he chooses to do it? What a loser...

What I mean by slack is, in most jobs(other then those requiring a driver's license) a DUI would not be terms for dismissal, unless it was while performing work duties. If Huggs was on his own time, I can see suspending him for the opportunity to get some help, but not firing him.

All due respect, If Huggins choses to keep up his lifestyle, that is his choice. We can be concerned for his health, but in reality, the only thing we can be pissed about is him getting behind the wheel. The University has the right to monitor him as for their reputation, and maybe it will take this suspension as a wake up call(obviously the heart attack wasn't enough).
I guess only time will tell.

And it is the university's choice to say we don't want someone who makes those choices to represent us.

He'll get hisself together and be back for the conference schedule if he does what he needs to do. The Bearcats are in good hands until he does get back, and hopefully he and the team will move forward with another good season.

Not downplaying anything, but people are acting like he's a junkie or something.

If he's an alcoholic, the recovery time could be longer than you'd think. Seagull, what was your experience?

Huggins Jokes

The UC Basketball motto: Lead by example

Officers found vomit on the side of Coach Huggins' car however the evidence was thrown out after it was determined that it was left over from his review of the film of the Bearcats' last NCAA Tournament game.

Fortunately for Huggins, the UC cell was vacant that night so at least he was able to spend his time in comfortable surroundings.

When Huggins was brought to the jail, several UC players thought he was conducting a bed-check.

Huggins faces a minimum 3-day jail sentence. The good news is that he can get in 2 shoot-arounds and 3 full squad practices.

How many recruits will Huggins be able to pick up during his time in the lock-up? Does it count as a home visit?

Does Huggins' failing grade on the sobriety test count against his graduation rate?

You would think that he could have passed the sobriety test; it's the same entrance exam that his players have to take to get into the school.

When asked to comment about the arrest, Bearcats radio announcer Chuck Machock replied, "That's the worst call I've ever seen!"

Current and former Bearcat players are banding together to help raise funds for Huggins' legal defense fund. The Art Long suggested "team pot sale" is gaining a lot of support.

It didn't make it into the police report, but sources say that Huggins was overheard saying, "I was just driving Larry Eustachy home."

The following statement was released by the UC athletic Department: "While we do not condone what Coach Huggins did, at least he didn't tie someone to a chair and hit him over the head with a whisky bottle, hurl a bottle at a woman in a bar, push a pregnant woman into a bathtub, shoplift, assault police officers, beat up his girlfriend, or punch a police horse."

According to the report, Huggins also was asked to repeat the alphabet and did well until the letter "M," later completely skipping the letters X and U. Ironically, reaching the letter M is 4 letters further than any of his players have been able to get.

Of course he skipped the letters X and U. Kind of like his team skipped last year's XU game.

Huggins told the officer he had spent the day drinking beer and talking to recruits. When Huggins was asked what time he stopped drinking, the coach replied, "No, sir." - There's no joke here. There's nothing else I can possibly say.

The arresting officer was rather surprised when Huggins recited the Miranda phrase from memory. Huggins replied, "No big deal. It's on the cover of our team media guide."

Huggins reportedly spent the day "with recruits and drinking beer." Unfortunately the recruiting coordinator was attending a seminar at the University of Colorado and was unable to arrange for the strippers.

Huggins faces a minimum fine of $200. The school has decided to pay it for him and is currently deciding whether to take the money from the "Pay the Players" account or the "Bribe the Referees" account.

Huggins was stopped by police at 11:35 p.m. and said that he had last eaten at lunch. Given the recent photos of Huggins, does anyone believe that this man could go 11 1/2 hours without eating?

Huggins is due in Fairfax mayor's court at 6 p.m. tonight to respond to the charge. Spectators have said that the courtroom is dingy, the seats are cramped and uncomfortable, and there's not a good view of the action - kind of like the Shoemaker Center.
