After fighting back into the Kansas rotation following a pro-career-derailing knee injury, Brandon Rush was arrested yesterday on outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court for traffic violations. Rush was released on $500 bond yesterday. Rush, who had come to court to take care of at least one of his traffic matters when he was arrested about 3 p.m., headed to Horejsi Center about 4 p.m., where he practiced with KU's team.
"We are disappointed because our players need to be more responsible when handling situations in dealing with the law. Brandon did not appear in court, therefore, this happened," said KU coach Bill Self, who indicated "any team punishment would be handled internally."
It doesn't look like Rush will be suspended, and will be able to play, and to that I say ... good for the Jayhawks? I know, it seems weird. You don't want to encourage lawless behavior, but a look at the two charges levied against Rush -- driving with a suspended license and without proof of insurance -- suggests a careless person rather than one with an outright disrespect for the law. The Jayhawks need to help Rush figure out that carelessness and tardiness don't sit well with judges. This might be his last chance.
