Def going to be interesting to watch this.  I mean, WVU seems like the kind of place that might not immediately dump a guy like Huggs for saying that.

If they do fire him, he will be the new coach at some SEC school like 7 seconds later.

That's really bad tho. He said the f slur twice then makes a penis envy joke. There's no locker room talk or walk-back for that.

I am not defending it at all.  Just saying that we live in a world where Chris Beard can choke a person out and be hired like 2 months later by an SEC school.  Based on the variables here, it's going to be interesting to see what happens.

Yeah, and he really didn't say the f word on a homophobic way. The only thing surprising at all about this is that he was dumb enough to say it on a radio show.

Bill Cunningham who is his pal in CIncy is a major a hole as well. Seriously how could any school not can his 400 pound ass right away? I'm sure Whitlock and Clay Travis will support what he said, but no one else. Coaching search at WVU should be interesting.

Bill Cunningham's twitter account is exactly what you'd think it is. Y'all know I'm not going to cape up for Huggins saying that, but Cunningham absolutely laid the groundwork by saying "I think it was transgender night" Huggins was immediately transformed to their nights at the bar when he lived in Cincinnati. Dude is obsessed with lgtbq, like weirdly so. He tweeted this, earlier this morning. Trans women never seem to be far from his mind.

Has anyone tried to tell Bill that it's ok to be who he wants to be and that if he want's to come out as transgender thats fine. Maybe that's the root of all of his problems.

bob huggins is a 70 year old man who happens to be intolerant towards people different than him, and who also is good at coaching basketball.  the $1m probably means very little to him.  nothing about this “punishment” is going to have any effect on this man.

i wonder what his thoughts would be on black dudes had he not climbed to his perch on their backs.

I'm not that cynical. "Sensitivity training" is pretty nebulous but if done comprehensively and in conjunction with LGBTQ groups, it has the ability to be transformative and that should be the point. I really hope there's a public component of this, like some PSAs or speeches involved. I'm not interested in careers ending, I'm much more interested in people's minds being changed and more people seeing the LGBTQ community as humans. I think Huggins is powerful enough in West Virginia to change some minds, if his is changed. Will any of this happens, doubtful, but I hope it does.

I have a feeling that WVU saw an opportunity for a win/win for the uni.  Win #1 is that they get a fantastic coach with a great transfer class on fire sale.  Win #2 is that they didn't want to fire Bob because of this(I am guessing) and now they don't have to change anything and get to keep their incoming class. 

If they really wanted to make a statement, they would be using that mil for something LGBTQ related.  The initial issue was all Bob.  The reaction and outcome is all about WVU and they have chosen to get a coach on sale and make him say sorry, neither of which is anything but positive to the university. 

I don't think training is going to do anything for someone who is as casual about it as bob.  I haven't taken the time to dive into it, but I would be willing to bet that this kind of training doesn't statistically move the needle.

The annual compensation of Coach Huggins will be reduced by $1 million. Those dollars will be used to directly support WVU's LGBTQ+ Center, the Carruth Center and other state and national organizations that support marginalized communities. University leadership will seek input from these organizations to determine how to best utilize those funds.
They're appearing to be saying the right things and have intent to do the right things, let's see how the follow up goes
Quote
Next, according to the Williams Institute, West Virginia has the highest percentage of transgender youth in the nation. To address the concerns of our West Virginia youth, Coach Huggins will be required to meet with LGBTQ+ leaders from across West Virginia with guidance from the leadership of WVU's LGBTQ+ Center. We want to partner with ACLU-WV, Fairness WV, Morgantown Pride and other organizations to elevate the conversation regarding the issues that affect our state. Through those conversations, we expect Coach Huggins, in accordance with these partners, to engage in additional opportunities to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Quote
I am looking forward to working with WVU's LGBTQ+ Center and other state organizations to learn more about the issues facing the community. As a leader, I am eager to use my platform to take what I learn and share it with a broader audience.
 
I also regret my comments regarding Xavier University. I am hopeful that my personal donation to the university to support its Center for Faith and Justice and its Center for Diversity and Inclusion will further the work it does and the impact it has on its students.

Probably won’t be a problem again for a while.  If convicted, he’s going likely to lose his license for a year, then be required to have an interlock (car breathalyzer) for a couple years.

Sounds like a thorough-going alcoholic. Too bad his family or his close associates didn't stage an intervention to get him the help he needs before he crap all over his legacy the past few months. Oh well, maybe Battle will hit the portal again.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/37981764/former-coach-bob-huggins-says-never-resigned-wvu

Quote
In his letter, which was obtained by ESPN, David A. Campbell, an attorney representing Huggins, said Huggins' resignation correspondence with the school did not come from him but from his wife, June Huggins.

Campbell wrote. "However, although the press statements purport to have resignation communications directly from Coach Huggins to you and/or the Athletic Director, Coach Huggins has never communicated his resignation to you, the Athletic Director, or anyone at WVU. To the contrary, we understand that the purported 'resignation' is incredibly based on a text message from Coach Huggins' wife."

Quote
The school also said it has had ongoing conversations with Huggins' legal representatives -- not Campbell -- in recent weeks that suggest the former coach understood he had resigned and had even been discussing the next steps of the resignation and retirement with Bob Fitzsimmons and James "Rocky" Gianola, two attorneys who have historically represented the former West Virginia coach, as recently as Friday.

"The conflicting communications and correspondence from various counsel on Mr. Huggins's behalf leave the University unclear as to its next steps: continue working collaboratively with Mr. Fitzsimmons on common resignation/retirement benefits for a former University employee and as outlined in Mr. Huggins' contract; or respond to meritless demand letters and possible frivolous litigation brought forth by you," said Stephanie D. Taylor, vice president and general counsel for West Virginia, in a letter to Campbell.

Is this an elaborate scheme to give Huggins a second window of wild recruiting while outside of ncaa rules?    The first go round netted him a haul, turned Kstate around, and got him his dream job one year later.

Might be worth another try on his part.

What surprises me is how many people appear blind-sided by this behavior. Taking a step back and objectively observing Huggins throughout his career, how could anyone not perceive him as anything but a complete misanthrope? His petulant behavior on the sidelines, his demeaning treatment of players, and scorn for even Tony's and Jay's interviews. The man has been an arrogant prick from day one. For some reason WVU fans found his behavior endearing. He has been a brute to everyone for decades, and now that WVU is no longer on its collective knees for him, his true colors show.

It was never about WVU, WV, or the Mountaineers. It was always about Bob Huggins. From the beginning, the man walked around like WVU should be humbled that he graced the University with his employment. That players should feel lucky to play for him. That the state as a whole should be honored that he "returned" home to lead his "beloved" Mountaineers. It was all a farce.

His contract may say that he gets more money if he resigns after a certain date, which would explain why he's saying that he didn't resign.

damn, lawyers are sassy af

I write letters pretty much erryday. The personality you take on in any given matter is dictated by the client. But this particular one struck me as one that would be v fun to write. Particularly the long list of rhetorical/snarky questions in (I believe) paragraph 2. It's like message board posting!

I got a kick out of Huggs not using email and his lawyer having IT issues which led to the resignation coming from June's email account

I write code pretty much erryday and the personality of the code takes on the shape of what needs to be implemented. So I totally relate.

It’s a real bummer when you are estopped from asserting otherwise.

Huggs doesn't seem to have a problem hurting the basketball team, athletic department, and hand-picked interim coach at the small chance of a larger settlement.  It seems pretty inconsistent with his "I am an alumnus and love WVU so much" mantra.

My guess is he spent 3 weeks hearing how aggrieved he should be from his family and enablers and has started to view WV much as he does Cincy.  I'll bet he was so upset that he hasn't even been out in public to pick up cans for the homeless, costing them tens of dollars.

Yeah this really puts Eilert in a shitty position. It feels like he's doing this as some kind of a loyalty litmus test for the people still around the program. The part where the attorney outlined what was said in the meeting with the players and staff seemed particularly icky to me.

My suspicion is that selfishness and self-centeredness is the root of his problems.

Alcoholism is usually a symptom of other mumped up things.

One of my favorite bbs tactics as well. Dax falls for it constantly.

Unless they have me on the stand as an expert witness.

"You wouldn't be confused if you understood what you were reading in the technical document exhibits. Let me explain it to you..."

Made a judge laugh with that line.
