And, to add further insult RP is building a formidable team at SJU. He is a rock star in NYC.

And, to add further insult RP is building a formidable team at SJU. He is a rock star in NYC. Rick's compensation at Iona was $612,000 per year. If the TPTB at HC got over ethical concerns, could they have afforded to and should they have bought out BN two years ago and hired RP for the same 612K? I think it is an academic question because it might have been harder to overhaul a high academic school with an AI as quickly as a team at a school with less selective admissions, and Pitino (my autocorrect changed that to "Putin" before I caught it🙂) may have felt he didn't have the time for that at his age. Dave Paulsen is 12-13 years younger than Rick and has the timeline and high academic background to build a winning program at HC. Looking like a great choice at this point.

JMO but I wouldn't want Pitino at Holy Cross if he promised to work for free.

So that's a no on the buyout and $612,000 per year? 🙂

BAC level was higher than the Mendoza Line (.210). How many cocktails does it take for a large man to get that blitzed?

Not many if he sees it as a way to get out of a contract he no longer wants. However, the life of an addict/alcoholic can be hard since logic and self-preservation play little or no part in it.

I remember, but can’t find any verification of this, that when BAC was first established to determine impaired driving the cut-off level was .20. It soon was lowered to .15 and eventually to .08. Am I misremembering again?

Memory a little fuzzy? Have you been drinking again?!

There is not a perfect formula because you have to take into account the length of time to consume the drinks, whether the person had food in the stomach, etc. One chart I saw said that 10 drinks would take a 240 pound man to .16. So, clearly Coach Huggins had a great many drinks. Key question: where was he drinking? If in an on-premise account the bartenders should have stopped him but of course that may be hard to do with such an Alpha male as this goon.

Am I misremembering again? in most states, it was .15 when those laws went into effect, but there may have been a few where it was higher. Eventually a lot of states it was lowered to 0.10 and some to 0.08. Then a federal law forced all states to drop it to 0.08. Not long ago, there was a recommendation from some federal agency to drop it to 0.05.

I don't believe there is a federal BAC law, as such. States can set the limit wherever they want. If they set it above 0.08, though, they will lose all Federal highway matching funds and god knows what else. This is the same method that the Feds used decades ago to effectively force states to raise the minimum drinking age to 21.
Something similar to how it forces schools to comply with Title IX.

I've seen conflicting stories about the transfer portal in a case like this.
Are the players free to leave and be immediately eligible somewhere else? Of course, in summer, there's going to be a lot less places to go where a scholarship is available.

Guy I coached under the last few years played for Huggins at Walsh College in Ohio in the early '80s for a year. Said he knew the game but was a total maniac....he came back home after his Freshman year and walked on at UMass-Amherst for a couple years.

It's often said that when someone gets pulled over for speeding, it's not the first time he/she has gone above the speed limit.
With Huggins, well, we know this wasn't the first time he was driving under the influence. In 2004, Huggins resigned from Cincinnati after getting a DUI.
Just how many times do we think Huggins was driving under the influence?
Hope he gets some help.

Others can apply for a waiver from the NCAA, but they have said that simply having your coach leave is not grounds for a waiver on the second transfer. It would have to be stronger reasons such as having been abused by your current coach, etc.

I wonder if Bret Nelson’s agent is in West Virginia now making a case for bringing that WVA native to the university to lead the hoops program. We have not seen him on this forum in a while-maybe that is where he has been??

WVU would have been a better fit for a first head coaching gig than HC.

You would think the 27-84 record would sell itself.
