Housewright cited for aggravated DUI

[grizzh8r]

If we're the program we claim to be, Vigen must take action. Period.

Reported as fake account. Nice try.

What's fake about my account?

Seriously? You've attempted to spoof @VimSince03 's account - very poorly, I might add - and are trying to use his well-earned respect on this board to sway opinion before the legal process plays out. Buh-bye!

Well done @MSU01

FYI @kmax @rtb

I have seen Housewright over-served on occasion but I did not want to raise the flag with MSU staff. Wish I would have. What Coach House needs from us is our support. Housewright is a great man when he is not binge drinking and putting members of our community in danger. Good luck Coach House.... You will be my families prayers tonight.

You'd better shutup before you get into real legal trouble by spewing this kind of trash on the internet.

Sorry friend. I'm not going to get into any legal trouble for supporting coach House and praying for him.

Pray for yourself.

Living in the heart of downtown Billings that’s not a unique occurrence. The library has one full-time security guard and some days two.

There are drunk/drugged people wandering everywhere but mostly on N 27th-29th where they just meander without any regard for traffic. My wife won’t go into the Albertsons on 27th right by us unless I’m with her because it’s such a disaster of broken people.

I think that Housewright and Garza (has his case been resolved yet?) should in fact be fired if they are found guilty of DUI. However, I also think that a knee-jerk reaction of an immediate termination isn't a wise move, and that they should be given the same opportunity that any of the rest of us would want, to be able to go through the legal process to be able to tell our sides of the story and potentially be cleared of the charges.

It does seem like Coach Vigen needs to come out and make a very strong public statement about his expectations for the people associated with his program.

P.S. When will people around here learn to stop feeding the trolls?

I agree on need to wait for outcomes instead of rushing to fire. But, I also don't think firing is the only option. MSU actively promotes drinking at fundraisers and it is a big part of game day with many on here pushing for in stadium sales. They made mistakes, but guarantee many on here have done the same but not gotten caught. Housewright's wreck makes it more severe, but unpaid suspension would be sufficient in my opinion.

100 percent agree with MSU01 here, pretty crazy how quick people make assumptions and jump to conclusions here. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “lawyer up and beat the charges”, and all is good here guy. But, I don’t think the school even can fire him until there’s a legal ruling. Same with WMG, and many of us are wondering if there was a conviction there or not yet? Agree though, this seems to be a problem and Vigen needs to address it one way or the other.

100 percent agree with tetoncat here, pretty crazy how quick people are to completely write someone off for being accused of a crime. There are other ways to handle legal troubles. I for one am a "lawyer up and beat the charges, if you can" guy. I'm not saying all is good here but everyone deserves an opportunity to put up the best defense possible.

Yeah, o is a new recruit. 0 is real. Very good catch, I never would have known without you catching that.

I'm torn on this. In my younger years I drove when I shouldn't have. I would not have been fired for it. The company vehicle changes that. I'm also not a public figure. Garza case is different, private vehicle. These guys should be roll models, but they are human, so they have flaws. Just glad I don't have to make the decisions.

I did some digging it appears Garza has a hearing in June, reason listed "Driver's License Suspension".

I'm not sure he's been convicted of anything yet?

Pretty sure Garza hasn't been convicted of anything or we would have heard about it. I wonder if he has a plea deal to drop the DUI charge but plead guilty to a lesser charge that will result in DL suspension.

[tetoncat]

Such a bad choice. Especially when Garza just got one.

Unfortunately Vigen/Costello/Cruzado didn’t handle Garza well, which makes handling the House situation even more difficult.

Really crappy position to be put in as a leader and a university. One I hope they learn from.

Vigen and Costello MUST come out strong on this.

How did they not handle it well. Suspended him for a game based on putting himself in the situation and waiting for legal process to play out. Are they supposed to give weekly updates on an HR issue. The quick response many seek seems like would lead to costly lawsuits.

Are coaching contracts generally renewable every June?

Exactly. I think the only good option here is to not take any action until the legal ruling comes out. I know this is a stretch, but hypothetically let's say the facts come out and this was a disgruntled cop that lied about the facts, tampered with evidence, etc. Now IMO most likely WMG was drinking and driving and should be punished accordingly, but I'm just saying the other scenario does in fact happen.

If he refused to provide a sample (e.g., blood, breath, or urine) for drug and/or alcohol testing in connection with the DUI investigation, his license was likely suspended for the refusal. When a refusal suspension is imposed, the suspect/driver has the right to a district court hearing pursuant to 61-8-1017, MCA. At the hearing, the court will determine if the suspension was lawful.

The hearing you found, is it on a district court calendar? If yes, that's what it is.

Just so embarrassing and disappointing. How do you get out and recruit with a suspended license?

Cut bait now and get someone in there ASAP. We won't skip a beat with the weapons on offense.

I have expressed my dismay through QB Club. I don’t feel the need to comment on the subject at this time.

I believe many need to take a deep breath, just like I am trying to do.

Beating the live horse does as much good as

Not telling anyone what to do, but

Breathe
