Report: New Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer arrested, charged with DUI

Mike Budenholzer, hired by the Hawks three months ago, has just made a terrible early impression in Atlanta.

Mike Morris of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
A trooper stopped Budenholzer for having no tail lights, according to the State Patrol. The trooper detected an odor of alcohol, administered a field sobriety test, then placed Budenholzer under arrest.

Budenholzer refused a breath test, a State Patrol spokesman said.

A spokesman for the Atlanta City Jail told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Budenholzer, 44, was charged with DUI and a tail light violation, and was released on $1,524 bond at 3:45 a.m. Thursday.

It’s expected Nets coach Jason Kidd will be suspended two games for his DWI, and Budenholzer will likely receive the same punishment. As he should. There’s no excuse for Budenholzer to endanger others on the road.

Budenholzer came to the Hawks after being an assistant in San Antonio, where Spurs general manager R.C. Buford was arrested for DUI in 2011. I’m not one to rush to assign blame to an organization – Budenholzer’s issues are his issues, and Buford’s issues are his issues – but if you’re the type to judge athletes for being collectively out of control after a couple legal incidents, it’s only fair to examine the Spurs organization and question whether its culture tolerates drinking and driving.

Unfortunately, how this incident fits the narrative of Budenholzer’s tenure with the Hawks will probably be retroactively determined. If he wins, he overcame early personal challenges. If he loses, he just never had it together.

Hours later after he sobered up, Budenholzer was found in a corner curled up in the fetal position muttering, "Why Pop, why? Just put in Timmy!"

Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer not guilty in DUI case


ATLANTA (AP) -- Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer has been found not guilty of DUI charges.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/2938xhW) reports that the jury deliberated for less than three hours on Monday before returning the verdict around 5:20 p.m. He was cleared on a DUI-driving less safe charge. Budenholzer was found guilty of driving with a broken tail light and fined $150.

Budenholzer testified in his own defense about when troopers stopped him in August of 2013 for allegedly driving with his lights off and arrested him on suspicion of DUI.

According to WSB-TV (http://2wsb.tv/28WIB3R), Budenholzer has said he thinks the trooper may have been confused about him being impaired because he has chronic redness around his eyes, previous ankle injuries and a foot surgery that causes imbalance.

Before he arrived that team was going nowhere. He turned them into contenders (in the East) immediately.

60 wins with Horford and Milsap as their best players.

$1,524 bond !?

In Cali that would have likely been $10-$20k.

Here in Miami-Dade County, a simple DUI bond is $1,000. So, paying 10% of that bond is only $100 to that person out of jail. Though you're better off staying in jail until you see the jail arraignment judge and get a ROR - means you get out for free with a promise coming to court (usually for first-time offenders or those with not much a rap sheet).

Though if you get arrested on a Friday or Saturday night, you might have to wait until Monday morning, I think.
