What a shock (sarcasm, indeed). PG Joe Mazzulla has been reinstated to the West Virginia basketball team by Bob Huggins after being suspended due to his arrest for domestic battery when he grabbed a woman by the throat (I kid you not) at a bar in April. 
The arrest, which had been Mazzulla’s 2nd in the past year (he was charged with aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and underage drinking — all in one day) was pleaded down to disorderly conduct.
Mazzulla has not missed a single game for either arrest, and pretty much has gotten away Scot-free in both instances.
…I can’t help but laugh…it is Bob Huggins, and it is West Virginia, so what did you really expect?…I’d imagine that Darryl ‘Truck’ Bryant will be reinstated shortly as well, after all, he was only suspended because he committed a hit and run…
…This does affect Villanova though, because West Virginia and us are considered the class of the Big East this year…we all always assumed that Mazzulla (and Bryant) would be back, but I actually thought they might miss a game or two…

Yeah the Media kept playing up the “suspended indefinitely” card, which, when combined with DOMESTIC ABUSE or HIT AND RUN generally makes one think of a suspension that lasts INDEFINITELY, rather than two months before the season starts.
I suppose the shame is on me, for not burying that last little bit of naivete deep deep down.
