Bob Huggins

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.

Those transfers might be jumping off the train today. Lots of smoke about Huggins getting arrested for a DUI in WV yesterday evening. Unconfirmed so far by reporters but it's trending #1 on Twitter this morning.

Confirmed by Pittsburgh PD

such a shame. Two of Cincy's biggest sport's names are self-destructive. Bob and Pete.

I have to apologize to everyone. I thought that the criticism of Bob was because he dropped the f-bomb. I either did not listen or read far enough or read the wrong article. Other people have been destroyed by far less - see Jimmy the Greek. Huggins has his millions and he will survive. However, WVU recruiting is going to suck for the next year because every competing coach is going to use "Huggs will not be around in a year" line to every recruit.

Thus it appears that it may depend on who the new coach is and more importantly, how much NIL $$$$$$$$$. They must have a nice kitty cause they got the top ranked transfers. It is a new day.

When I took it, there was some person who had just an undergraduate degree who considered all of us as ignorant fools. All had our terminal degrees BTW and we showed her much graciousness which was not returned. Unlike others it was very hard to fire us, Heck, while Bob broke our culture rules He is a HOF legend. Many will say treat all the same, while my experience was that the leader of the training was quite insensitive, but she treated us as uneducated rubes. Maybe we were. . It will be a good gauge to this cancel society to see if BOb wins the Natty and then what will he be remembered for.


I didn't say Bob was right, but if he wins big, it will be a gauge to how far this culture as really come.

Yep an exercise in futility! But it pacifies a bunch people.

Bob Huggins taking sensitivity training! I'd like to be a fly in the classroom when that takes place.

Has that ever done anything except get a few people a paycheck. I had to take it when I was faculty at a University. Look at me now.

Official from WVU, including a three game suspension (so much for "significant") ... also note that his multi-year deal was reduced to one year. Well, he's obviously going to coach for just one more year than retire!

The national ridicule is a heavy penalty as well.
