ATLANTA -- Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer has apologized for his arrest on a driving under the influence of alcohol charge. Eddie Jackson Jersey . According to a report from the Georgia State Patrol, Budenholzer was pulled over at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in Atlanta for not having working taillights. Trooper J. Nelms said Budenholzer had bloodshot and watery eyes "and a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath." Budenholzer refused a breath test but agreed to a field sobriety test, according to the report. He told Nelms he had only one glass of wine and that he finished the glass about 15 minutes before being pulled over. Nelms said in the report that Budenholzer was "polite" and that his speech patterns were mumbled, slow and slurred. Budenholzer issued an apology in a statement released by his attorney, Michael Hawkins. "I take my role as a leader very seriously and hold myself to a high standard," Budenholzer said. "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 misdemeanour charges." Budenholzer, who was released from jail on $1,524 bond, entered a not guilty plea at Atlanta Municipal Court on Thursday, according to Hawkins. Hawks general manager Danny Ferry said in a statement that Budenholzer immediately informed him of the arrest and that team officials are gathering more information. "We take this matter seriously and have been in constant communication with coach Budenholzer throughout this situation," Ferry said in a second statement released Thursday afternoon. "We support him during this legal process and will let that take its course." Hawkins said Budenholzer asked to consult with an attorney before his arrest. Hawkins said Budenholzer volunteered at the jail to take both a breathalyzer and a blood alcohol test and was denied both requests. Hawkins said following Budenholzers release from jail, the coach went to Piedmont Hospital where his blood alcohol was tested at .01, well below the legal limit of .08. Hawkins said that test came "several hours" after the arrest. Budenholzer, 44, a former longtime San Antonio Spurs assistant, was named the Hawks coach May 29. He spent 19 years with the Spurs, including 17 seasons as an assistant. He was the top assistant for coach Gregg Popovich the past six years. Ferry and Budenholzer worked together in San Antonio. Ferry came to the Hawks last year after two years as vice-president of basketball operations for the Spurs. Budenholzer was hired to replace Larry Drew, who now is the Milwaukee Bucks coach.

Taylor Gabriel Jersey . Future Hall of Famer Ricky Ray is in his prime and back for a third season in double blue. The 34-year old was magnificent in 2013, throwing for just under 2,900 yards despite missing eight games, tossing an impressive 21 touchdowns against just two interceptions, completing 66 per cent of his passes in the process. http://www.cheapbearsjerseyschina.com/sh...is-jersey/ . UEFA said Wednesday that the champions of England and France only have to include five home-trained players in their 21-man squads next season instead of the expected eight. Only one of the five players needs to be trained by the club itself. NEW ORLEANS -- Playing with a cast on his broken throwing arm, Louisiana-Lafayette quarterback Terrance Broadway wasnt as prolific as usual. Fortunately for the Ragin Cajuns, they had Corey Trim to make a game-changing play on defence. Trim returned an interception 82 yards for a touchdown, Hunter Stover hit a go-ahead 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, and Louisiana-Lafayette held off Tulane 24-21 on Saturday night for its third straight New Orleans Bowl victory. Tulane set up for a 48-yard field goal try in the final seconds, but Cairo Santos, the 2012 Lou Groza award winner as the nations best kicker, missed just left. Elijah McGuire and Alonzo Harris each had touchdowns runs for the Ragin Cajuns (9-4), who led 21-0 on Trims interception -- the longest in the bowl games history -- against Nick Montana. But Tulane rallied to tie it at 21 on three TD runs by Orleans Darkwa. Broadway passed for 143 yards and ran for 33, but took a lot of hits in the second half before being replaced by Jalen Nixon in the fourth quarter. Devin Powell replaced Montana in the first half and passed for 223 yards for Tulane (7-6), but had a pass intercepted by Sean Thomas, a play that set up ULLs winning field goal. It wasnt clear until kickoff who was going to play quarterback for either team. ULL coach Mark Hudspeth had all but ruled out Broadway, who broke his right (throwing) arm Nov. 30. Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said he was unsure if he could start Montana, who had struggled much of the season with injuries, including to his throwing shoulder. Both qquarterbacks ended up starting, but only Broadway took the majority of his teams snaps. Mike Singletary Jersey. Ragin Cajuns needed six plays to produce the games opening score. Broadway completed his first two passes for first downs, and McGuire capped the drive with a 27-yard run in which he reached for the pylon as he was knocked out of bounds. Tulane crossed midfield on its third drive before running a trick play in which receiver Ryan Grant took a reverse handoff and threw deep, but it was intercepted by Thomas and returned to the ULL 27. That set up a six-play 73-yard scoring drive that ended with Alonzo Harris 15-yard scoring run. The Wave was in position to halve its deficit when Montana drove Tulane inside the ULL 20, but Trims interception along the sideline made it 21-0 early in the second quarter. Desperate for points, Tulane sought to convert on fourth-and-3 from its own 47. Powell threw deep and Devon Breaux made an adjustment to haul in an underthrown pass for a 42-yard gain, setting up Darkwas first TD from the 1. Jordan Sullens interception at the Tulane 35 set up the Green Waves second scoring drive, which began with Powells 49-yard pass to Grant. That led to Darwkas second score on a 7-yard run up the middle to make it 21-14 shortly before halftime. Darkwas tying touchdown came on a 22-yard run shortly after Derrick Strozier intercepted Broadways attempted throw-away along the sideline, returning it 20 yards to the 17. Sullen was later knocked out by a knee to the head and carted off the field, but was expected to be OK.
