Seemingly compared to other major programs across the nation, the Gonzaga men’s basketball team has gotten off relatively scot-free when it comes players violating codes of conduct. There have been a couple of instances, but not too many.
That is why it is so unfortunate to see Josh Perkins’ name added to the list. The sophomore guard was cited for “physical control of a vehicle while under the influence” at approximately 4:00 am, on October 9. It is an unfortunate transgression for Perkins, but also a stark reminder that the student-athletes at the university level are still prone to the same bone-headed mistakes as the average American.
