Only two days after he put a job he loved in jeopardy by using a homophobic slur during an appearance on a Cincinnati radio station, Bob Huggins learned his punishment.
FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2010, file photo, West Virginia's head coach Bob Huggins talks to his team in a huddle during a time out in the second half of an NCAA basketball game against St. John's o in New York. A spokesman for the West Virginia University basketball team says further testing has revealed that coach Bob Huggins broke seven ribs _ not four _ in a hotel room fall.
The radio hosts didn’t seem to grasp that Huggins was risking his career with those unconscionable remarks, nor did they appear to care about anyone he had offended.“He’s the best,” Moeller responded. Did they want to protect a beloved basketball coach with decades of clout and cachet? Or did they want to take a stand on behalf of those Huggins marginalized with his damaging words?
In 2005, Cincinnati president Nancy L. Zimpher forced Huggins to resign as Bearcats coach. While Huggins’ teams had reached 14 straight NCAA tournaments and won at least a share of 10 conference titles, Zimpher felt his program’s reputation for arrests and academic issues cast the university in a negative light.
That 2010 team rode its smothering 1-3-1 defense and dominance on the offensive glass to 31 wins, but that formula stopped working when Mountaineers moved to the Big 12. Undaunted, Huggins reinvented himself four years later, installing full-court pressure to accentuate West Virginia’s depth and athleticism and to hide its limited outside shooting.
