IlliniKrush Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Dirty program, trash players, talk trash to Illini before being smoked...now this **************************************************************** CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati basketball coach Bob Huggins was arrested Tuesday on charges he was driving drunk after visiting with a recruit. Huggins, 50, had trouble staying in his lane, had slurred speech and smelled of alcohol when he was pulled over in the village of Fairfax, according to a police report. Neither Huggins nor the university had immediate comment. He was scheduled to appear in court later Friday. The police report said Huggins told the police officer that he was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, the police report said Huggins was unable to perform a field sobriety test, had slurred speech, red, watery eyes and staggered out of the car after he was stopped. The report said there was a strong odor of alcohol and vomit on the driver's side door. Huggins was arrested and brought to the village's police station, where he was picked up by his wife. The report said Huggins was unable to give a complete breath test. Huggins' arrest is the latest black mark on a program that has been trying to get beyond a string of player arrests and NCAA rules violations in the 1990s. The arrest comes less than two years after Huggins had a massive heart attack while recruiting in Pennsylvania. Huggins returned to coach the team in the 2002-03 season, not missing any time because of the heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Throw the book at him, and fire him. With all the things Cincy's gotten away with in the past few years, there's no way they'll do anything to him. It's pathetic, because this is just as bad if not more than what Larry Eustachy and the other recently fired coaches did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
