Yep - 2 vehicle code violations - blew a 0.11, I think, so a DUI or similar seems like the charge. Per Ch. 3 report a minute ago.

Sacramento.....welcome to the world of professional sports. We have to admit, that we have been pretty clean when it comes to matters of the law. I am just stunned that our real first public scrap with the law is the coach. :confused:

Worse could have been slamming his car into somebody and killing them I suppose. Kind of ironic given the discussion we've been having in the other forum about Malik Sealy.

Guess at least he wasn't at a strip club firing his gun in the air. :rolleyes:

:eek: as if the public image of the Kings needs another hit.

I'm guessing it might have had something with the divorce he's going/gone through.

Well, the bright side (if there is such a thing) is that he didn't kill anybody or get in an accident or have a carload of players twice as drunk.

Hell, in this day and age, we're lucky he wasn't transporting 50 pounds of pot across state lines.

But, this doesn't look good for a new coach. I remember a college football coach in the SEC did something stupid while drunk and lost his job.

Will this be a non issue as far as the team and players trusiting in him?? That is all i am worried about i could care less how he looks to the media.

I wouldn't think it would be a real issue with trust.

The larger issue is respect. If they start to see him as "one of the guys" or "out-of-control" then it will probably translate into on-the-court issues, I would think.

OK. We can not reduce this to a "it could be worst" scenario. Because if this were Ron Artest, YA'LL WOULD BE SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS TO TRADE THIS LOSER.

I am looking forward to see where this goes on this board. Because I have a feeling that this is going to be a classic sociology case of "double standards".

Listen, the ONLY mitigating factor here is that this may have been a first offense, and I am generally somewhat forgiving of a one time mistake. With Ron it would have been a pattern and a very dangerous sign.

Nonetheless, I have had 4 friends and another 5-6 acquaintances killed by drunk drivers in my lifetime, and if I saw Muss right now I'd probably knock him on his scrawny ***. What he did was incredibly stupid and dangerous to other people. And for a coach...well that just is amazing. I am not sure I can ever recall an NBA coach being arrested for DUI, although I would imagine it might have happened at some point.

He got lucky, we got lucky, that nobody got hurt or killed. Now all I hope for is that this was an isolated incident that sullies his rep, but does not destroy it/him. I will say that there are certain franchises (Phoenix comes to mind) that might have fired him for this sort of thing.

Dear Muss-
Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Take the Limo next time........or call a cab, or make Amunsdon drive, he looks too young to drink. Thanks.

I wouldn't be calling for a trade, but there is a big difference between Muss and Artest.

If Artest did it - it would be another step down the slippery slope that confirms he is a bad egg and basketball's version of Owens. It would be "trend-worthy".

I believe this is Muss' first time doing something dumb and I can forgive that.

That's not "double standards", that's just seeing trends and worrying about them.

Heck, he looks too young to drive! ;)

Muss may have to start paying for cabs if he loses his license. Heck, maybe his workout will now include jogging to work, as he only lives a few minutes away from ARCO.
