by a drunk driver, it killed his daughter as well, so I generally wish drunk driving laws were stricter and better enhanced. Super disappointed in this news.......

Mark Few cited for DUI. Never thought I would see that.

Ban him from the conference tournament.

I hope he goes to jail - what a selfish and despicable thing to do

He should be required to sell every car he owns except a self driving Tesla.

Washington seizes cars on conviction of DUI. I've seen some people escape a DUI

Is this an option every time? I can see a wealthy alcoholic trading cars for offenses until he/she kills somebody

Usually on first offense, low BAC and no aggravating circumstances. Plead to a

But it was in Idaho, as well as he is an Idaho resident.

I was wondering if Washington is so liberal that DUI doesn't automatically mean jail time.

Juggernaut that lowered the legal blood alcohol limit. Libs don't do that.

He was pulled over and cited in Idaho.

The jail time should be contingent on him actually being guilty - I definitely

That's a major lapse in judgement. Hopefully not a sign of something

Cougarclaw

A sign he was impaired. Don't expect good judgement from drinking.

Wow, really surprised about that. Mark’s a great guy, but dang that’s stupid

Man, I find this one particularly disappointing. Shame on him.

It's shocking how many people drive under the influence

probably fewer than how many text and drive but it's pretty common.

The older I get the more I realize it is, sadly, commonplace.

Regarded as totally normal in Montana, especially by the rural community. It’s ridiculous

BYU leaving the WCC has already driven him to drinking?

I wonder what Spokane PD would have done?

bluelands

It would probably depend on who pulled him over. I know the Sheriff personally

Yep. Voted for Ozzie every time

That's the final straw. Off to the B12 now.

I hope he and his family are doing okay. Never fun to make such a public mistake

Lots of factors there. I know it's not likely, but here's hoping it's one here

exactly. People need to pump the breaks on the judgement.

It was alcohol unfortunately

1.5x over the limit at 8:00 pm...

If he’s a regular drinker it is, .12 is barley over the limit of .08. Not making

Absolutely not. But, to understand that alcohol levels are different for people

Surprising. Very bad. Attempted murder. I hate to say it because of all

LOL, attempted murder?

Bad mistake and sad to see, but Few is a class act and has my respect.

Blue streak

Fact, folks: Not all DUIs are the same. NOT remotely.

SinkingQuffa

9/7/21 3:48pm

I'm sure you say this every time a public figure gets a DUI, right?

garyfan

9/7/21 3:55pm

Of course. I don't assume that they're "finally getting caught". No, I don't.

SinkingQuffa

9/7/21 3:58pm

So, Few is just really unlucky to get caught his first time.

garyfan

Didn't say that either.

SinkingQuffa

Exposing your bias is fun. Thank you.

Few was one of the good guys, and since good guys rarely win NCAA championships

How many drinks? A Few.

notaboy

Innocent until proven guilty. First time offenses far different than repeat.

Perhaps in the next couple of days there will be an officer who was fired for unspecified reasons

Glad nobody was hurt. I hope he’s learned his lesson, and that any underlying substance abuse will be addressed

I wonder if he had been golfing and stopped in the clubhouse for a few beers

RC Vikings

9/7/21 5:26pm

based on his BAC, he sounds as if he had three drinks instead of two.

Archaea

9/8/21 9:02am

The notion that you can have any drinks AT ALL and drive is the problem.
