Louisville suspend Chris Mack six games for role in extortion case

[Newsdreams]

Mark Few wins basketball games.  He ain't going nowhere

He only goes somewhere else if he wants to go.

Yup.  They'll suspend him for some games, no doubt, but unless he had a pregnant coed in the car, a DUI isn't getting him in any real trouble

I wouldn't suspend him unless he asked to be suspended...

I am not so sure that he will be suspended. To be clear, DWI is a really Big Deal but how does this relate to Gonzaga or the team? It is over and done, fortunately without anyone being injured or killed, so the best outcome may be for Few to do some public service ads/appearances about DWI. Let the punishment be handled by the Judge.

If he was drunk on beer, there will be no discipline from Gonzaga, because you don't mess with hoppy.

Whether or not he killed or injured someone else is beside the point, He put others at risk and that's a big deal. To me anyway a much bigger deal than some of the things deemed grounds for dismissal these days.

Poor judgement and self-control on Few's part. If Gonzaga passes this off as a "big nothing," they are $$$$ whores and hypocrites, aina?

Eh not really.  Suspending someone for a DWI isn't something usually done in the workplace, and its not like he's a repeat offender.  (That we know of.)

And regardless, suspending Few for a couple of games isn't going to cost Gonzaga any money.

I'd bet Gonzaga suspends him for a few games to start the year - nothing that would keep them from winning those games, but at least sends a PR message.  He'll likely be fined, too, or will donate some agreed-upon sum to a charity or organization. 

As others have said, DUIs are a much bigger deal than people make them out to be when they happen to rich white folks.  It's not just a "lapse in judgement", as is often the excuse, but an active choice to do the (very avoidable) wrong thing.  If Mark Few had 3 too many cocktails and hit is wife, we wouldn't call that a "lapse in judgement", and we wouldn't be saying that his employer should leave his punishment to the courts.

Well, yeah, that's big-time college athletics.  Anyone participating are $$$$ whores and hypocrites

I predict 10 games, half of his 21-22 salary, mandatory counseling, public service and PSA's.   Public service will be hoop clinics with the proceeds going to a TBD charity.   They will take it seriously but not fire him.

You talking unvaccinated people without masks or DUI or both? 



I kid, I kid

[#UnleashSean]

Gonzaga is not going to remove a coach over a 1st time misdemeanor dui. Much like you wouldn't be fired from your job. Scoop can be nuts.

I overestimated Gonzaga.

[Mu8891]

Tower ...

U did not really think he'd get a 10
game suspension did u ?  The Zags
gave him a ( light ) slap on the wrist.

[tower912]

I am not surprised he retained his job.  I thought there would be a longer suspension.  Meh.
