Bob Huggins

[Lobot]

Apparently Huggs was on Bill Cunninghams show today and used some choice words when referring to Xavier fans. Waiting on details and audio from WLWT but it sounds this is fireable offense type stuff from Huggs.

[Lobot]

I have no idea whether he still has family in the area but isn't Hugs originally from southeast Ohio; and didn't he graduate (with honors) from WVU; and hasn't he been the head coach there as long as he was @ UC? While I would certainly welcome it, I'm trying to understand what the attraction would be for him to (retire and?) return here?

Huggs was born in Morgantown and grew up in Port Washington OH. I didn't realize until I looked up his profile that he played at Ohio U for two years before transferring to WVU.

although many prefer the rural areas, but not many who coach/play the game anymore. No Zeke from Cabin Creek.

You may be right in an ideal world. However, with NIL, one can build a team with 3 - 4 players that are being paid to play.

Nobody is moving to Morgantown in the same conference for the same or less money. Particularly from a nicer place to live.

I too hope that Huggs leaves on his own terms. When he does leave, I would like for him to come back to Cincy and teach defensive development.

toughness and how to position for rebounding too.

As much as I would like to see Huggins leave on his own terms I hope more than anything that WVU don't come sniffing around Clifton looking for their next bball coach. Twice is enough.

Bob's the oldest coach in D1 as well now that Boeheim is gone. I have have bad feeling Bob is not going to go out on his own terms. Hope I'm wrong.

a few weeks ago, wvu pushed out one of huggin's assistants - i saw an article, where he wasn't real happy - i wouldn't be shocked if huggins gest pushed out in the next couple of weeks

WVU seems to be in the same rut as Syracuse.

[Dr.kenneth noisewater]

I imagine we gonna be playing west Virginia the last game for the next couple years

[Lobot]

I hope Bob can retire when he wants to.

WVU has to play Kansas today in the Big XII tourney. If they lose,I think you can start the clock on Bob Huggins career. This is just a hunch on my part but WVU has a new AD who seemingly doesn't want to put up with Bob. I think the AD was probably behind the firing of Larry Harrison. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

With Boeheim's retirement, Huggins is the current active D1 wins leader

Also, WVU should be dancing so could be one last ride...
