Going by WorldStar videos I thought the Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta mass transit system was a perfect option to driving.

Man. I guess but who knows where he was and where he was going. But going from my uncles house in the burbs to my cousins house in the city and all that just seemed like driving was the only way. But he's new to the area too. He might have been chopping it up with some local coaches and have a few too many beers and you know how most people get after a few beers. They feel fine. Their brand new BMW is sitting outside and drinking makes you have even more confidence that you feel fine.

I don't know. after so many drinks, you stop thinking logical and take risk

really Coach kind of shyt is this?

From the report. he had one glass of wine. Didn't take the BAC test so we don't know exactly how much he had to drink. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo........ he'll get off in court from what I see. or plead to reckless driving or something under a DUI.

Update

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The attorney for Mike Budenholzer issued the following statement Wednesday regarding the DUI arrest of the Hawks head coach.

From Michael Hawkins:

“Last night, Atlanta Hawks head basketball coach Michael Budenholzer was stopped by a Georgia State Patrol DUI Task Force officer for a broken taillight. He was stopped solely for an equipment violation and committed no traffic offenses. The trooper demanded that he submit to a breathalyzer, and when Coach Budenholzer asked to consult with an attorney first, he was immediately arrested and charged with DUI.

While at the jail, after consulting with an attorney by telephone, he immediately volunteered to take both a breathalyzer and also requested that a blood alcohol test be performed. His request for testing was refused. Immediately upon his release on bond, Coach Budenholzer went directly to Piedmont Hospital where his blood was tested at the earliest opportunity, albeit several hours after his arrest. The official report from the hospital blood test revealed that his blood alcohol concentration was less than .01, well below the legal limit of .08.

Coach Budenholzer has no prior criminal record and entered a plea of Not Guilty to all charges this morning in the Atlanta Municipal Court.

“I take my role as a leader very seriously and hold myself to a high standard. I apologize to the fans and to the Hawks organization for any negative attention this incident has brought upon my family and the organization while the legal process evolves and I contest these misdemeanor charges,” said Coach Budenholzer.”
