Bob Huggins

I'm a life long Huggins fan. So it's really hard to see this happen. However, he brought this on himself. I hope he gets the help he needs & enjoys his retirement.

Really hate seeing Huggs rep ruined. He had a good coaching run, but his personal not so much. I have no reason to talk though. I will remember his great coaching and the thrills he gave the cats.

Sad to see it end this way. Seems very similar to what happened at UC. He self destructed both times, and that’s the saddest part. He turns 70 before the upcoming season starts, hopefully he can concentrate on his own well being now.

National media reporting Huggins has told his team he is resigning.

If Huggs is not the coach this year, what options do incoming recruits, transfers, and current team members have under NCAA rules?

Will be interesting. When the radio stuff happened the new guys weren’t on campus yet. Now they are. So they’ve already transferred. Might need waivers to leave for another school.

I have wondered if drinking didn't have something to do with the interview on 700 WLW on the Willie show. I remember from my younger partying days that lack of judgement and loose lips tend to come from drinking even though I don't think he was slurring his words from what I can remember.

I've had this same concern tbh.

Hopefully his family gets involved a bit but in the end Bob has to decide to ask for help on his own. If he doesn’t think he needs help, he won’t succeed at recovery.

Maybe the court can order him to get an interlock (a blow and go) on his ignition. It will not help with his problem but it would keep him from driving after drinking. Something else that will not help him with his problem but would prevent future arrests is to get a driver. With his income, I suspect that he could afford one.

I'm with Lobot, at this point you have to agree he has a problem that needs to be addressed. Far more important than his losing his job ( if it does occur ) but more importantly that people follows through to get him the proper help.

I won't make light of this either, but you just never know. Gee is the President of WVU and so we will see.

On probation for the radio interview and has another arrest for OVI during that probation? I hate to say it but this likely means the end of his coaching career.

Yeah he's done at this point. You can't defend this. WCHS in Charleston is reporting he blew a .210 BAC on the breathalyzer.

I'm not going to make light of this in the least. He needs help. Unfortunately this was one of two fairly likely scenarios for Bob and it's damn shame to see him go out like this.
