Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

Not at his age

Pitino is older and just got a 6 year deal...

we're about to see what 4 million a year can buy in today's market.

Hiring in June to be "the guy after the guy" can't be an easy sell. (we would know, considering when Hoiberg left)

I could coach WVU's talent to 20 wins, and i played football not basketball.

it's a sweet setup to walk into and inherit a team like this. WVU is loaded.

Yeah but who knows if the team will stay together with a new coach

It might be too late for them to be leaving for this season at least. So the coach will get a chance to sell them on staying longer over the course of the season.

Ok. I don’t really know how it works. I thought maybe there’s and exception with a coaching change.

How many will stay?

 

[JP4CY]

Need more info on next season....is that a year suspension or a "I won't be coaching again" statement.

You mean year off not suspension, right?
Because basketball is in his DNA. I wouldn't be shocked to see him coach at an A-10 type of school in a year or two.

I'm no prude, but when you're 69 years old and already on a short leash because of your public homophobic slurs, and then you go out and get **** faced drunk before you jump behind the steering wheel, you've got some pretty serious issues going on. I'd say he needs some help.

It's too bad. I always kind of liked him because he seemed like a no nonsense guy who never made excuses.

You meant while he was behind the wheel, based on the empties in the vehicle. Not before.

WVU is a good basketball job. They are gonna get someone good.

Could Jerome Tang try to sell a player or two on applying for a waiver. I think K state still has roster space.

 

[CyGuy5]

.210 dude could start for the Royals with that average

Difference being Huggins eats at restaurants and Pitino gets in some cardio while he's there...

I hope you guys do NOT get your Prohm. I wouldn't wish that on anyone except Texas. I'll miss Huggy he was a straight shooter and it sounds like he did a lot of good in the community with his fish fry and other charitable things.

Frank Martin. Lol. Yes please.

Five Candidates to Replace Bob Huggins at West Virginia

The reported resignation of West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins comes at a time in which the coaching carousel isn’t usually spinning. But, then again, more than a month ago Huggins hadn’t used an anti-gay slur on a Cincinnati radio show and hadn’t been arrested for a DUI at twice...

Supposedly he doesn’t last long enough to get his heart rate up.

*was a good job. It was only good because of Huggins. WV isn't a traditional power. I'd expect an assistant coach to get promoted.

They werent terrible though. Beilein was there before huggins and they went to an elite 8 and sweet 16 during his short tenure there

WVU is a very good hoops job. Close to talent, premier conference, rabid fanbase.
