The 35-year-old was said to be drunkenly banging on cars when he came upon Jones' vehicle early Sunday morning.

Sounds like it was dark at the time of incident. The victim was so drunk, he could not recognize the Uber car. Uber sends you description of the car & license number and driver's name and photo.

If a stranger is banging on your expensive car, should you just ignore it and quietly drive away? That would be cowardly. No one has the right to bang on your car unprovoked.

All that said, if I got out of the car and punched the offender, and if he falls to the ground and is unresponsive, I would call for help. The coach is guilty of hit and run at the least.

Reasonable people do not depart the relative safety of their car to engage in street fights. If Asst. Coach Jamill Jones was truly threatened, he was behind the wheel of the means to flee...or also in control of a weapon far, far, far more devastating than a handgun.

At my prevailing excellent salary, my professional achievements, my homes, my financial assets, my vehicles...you better believe I am not exiting my vehicle to roll around with some sweaty drunkard. Put a lifetime of achievement at risk due to a frat boy with too much champagne in his belly? No way. There is not even ANY evidence the coach’s car was damaged.
