Bob Huggins arrested for DUI (resigned on 6/17)

[nickp91]

This offseason was not ready for Bob Huggins

 

[dingaling]

There’s so many alternatives to getting behind the wheel drunk. Uber, Lyft, etc. I hope he gets help before he kills or maims someone. Drunk drivers and those who condone it can go rot.

Exactly. Grow up bro

From a coldly business perspective, you do not want to be the people employing him when he kills himself or someone else while on a bender.

There’s simply no way they can keep him.

It’s still West Virginia, the Alabama of… well it’s another Alabama basically

Never pretend that you‘re somehow better than people that live in different parts of the country. Just makes you look more ignorant than you normally look.

 

[Horatio]

He’s done

 

[Ratso]

gotta love huggy, no time/patience for the uber/lyft drivers

 

[alexd]

WVU can deduct some more from his pay next season and he can coach for free.

We are definitely better than people that live in some parts of the country. Arguing otherwise is just bothsidesism.

Lmao whoever doesn’t understand that West Virginia is a backwards shart-hole are the ignorant folks

Holier-than-thou ain’t your look

You’re here and not there, so that’s a win for them in anyone’s book.

But you’re backwards. Like, really backwards.

You don’t see that? I guess you wouldn’t.

Syracuse did it with Boeheim, no?

 

[How Sway?!]

In the plus column for WVU:

They've had 24 Rhodes Scolars to date, we just had our first a few years ago and haven't yet had a second. That doesn't come close to covering everything but it has to count for something.

Their last Rhodes scholar was in 1995.

I think there’s a pretty gigantic sample size from which we can conclude that certain states are more prone to forgive egregious behavior, no?

In any event, it’s neither here nor there in this case. Huggins’ defenders at WVU had to go to the mat to keep him employed after the gay slur. He’s done.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Guessing he is done.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Someone needs to pull the plug on him and get him some help drying out.

This. There are always examples of degenerate behavior being found everywhere, including in the places some folks would seem to be “superior”.

The university got concessions from Huggins to be active in the LBGQT community, along with a host of other financial and next-step behavioral concessions. That was what, 2 months ago.

Given the liability issues a poster mentioned earlier, he is a danger to himself & others (notably other drivers) in the community, etc. Even in a state where he is beloved, it is hard to imagine he survives this. We are into financial liability territory and that will Trump basketball.

Unless they're from Syracuse...

[Dandy]

Is anyone surprised by this?

 

[Scoe]

He gets off easy will be out of the public eye for a whole year. DUI offenders don’t get punished severely enough especially repeat offenders. In Japan it’s a 3 year prison sentence.

 

[MJ1]

West Virginia officials feel Huggins will announce his retirement soon.

 

[TheHorde]

I hope the guy gets help for himself, his loved ones, and others. This is the right move.

Well, alcoholics rarely do thst up front.

It's usually deny, deflect and exolain. Takes some time to get siber and reflect before honesty, accountability and openness occur.

I'll call it now Huggy Bear will be on TV next Feb/Mar being paid to talk about college hoops.
