dui of some sort in that car wreck done 4 the season i belive

He's a drunk, that's what happen.

Well, he was apparently considering stepping down due to ongoign hip and back pain prior to the auto accident a week or two ago. The wreck supposedly made things worse. Then it came out recently that he may be charged with a DUI pending the results of the blood test. Apparently witnesses on the scene said he smelled "fruity." I think he had an alcohol problem in the past, and it may be rearing its head again.

They said at halftime that this charge of driving under the influence doesnt neceserly mean it is Alcohol related it could be ill effects from the painkillers he was taking at the time for his bad back pain

But yes he does like to drink a little too so who knows

Make sure you have all the info before you pass judgement. He is on pain medicine for multiple injuries. DUI in Oklahoma means any sort of substance...including pain medicine. The "fruity smell" could have easily been the liquid form of pain medicine he takes. I am taking no sides yet....lot of information still to come out.

no shit dui means he was on something u dont think pain meds can impare u? i didnt say anywhere he was loaded on booze

My question is:

STILLWATER -- Witnesses said Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton became unsteady on his feet as he was leaving Gallagher-Iba Arena and struck his head after falling in the parking lot prior to an automobile accident Friday, police said Saturday.

Why didn't anyone keep him from getting in the car immediately after this incident?
