If so it could be Budenholzer might not suffer all that much - although justice system in Georgia isn't liberal Calif. Muss got little more than slap on the wrist. Fine yes, no jail time, and no community service as far as working outside to pick up trash along freeway, etc. He produced some doctors note saying he wasn't fit to do the "hard labor." Muss continued to coach Kings with no interruption and was then fired at end of that season.
