Current West Virginia coach Bob Huggins that is. I say current because it looks like ol' Huggy Bear may be violating the terms of his agreement. Just a few days ago, a certain 4 letter network announced the terms of Huggies deal which states that he can get fired for substance abuse. Then look what he goes and does today. The guy gets sloppy on his way to an event to meet with boosters --drinking free Jack and Cokes on a flight paid for by those very same boosters I'm sure--and then falls so hard that he has to be hospitalized. The Boosters were disappointed that the fall caused Huggy to miss the event, but hey, at least the assistant coach made a cameo. Classy move Bob. This goes a long way in confirming to the administration at West Virginia that they made the right decision in signing you to a 10 year deal.
Of course, this isn't the first time Huggy Bear has experienced off the court issues. You may remember Huggy from his days coaching the Cincinnati Bearcats where the university cut his tenure short, buying him out of his contract in 2004....right after he received a DUI. And wouldn't you know it, he had a bunch of degenerates on his squads back then like Kenyon Martin and Ruben "I am a registered sex offender" Patterson. Although Nick Van Exel is a straight up g so I give a little credit to Huggy for that one.
Still, Huggy can't sober up long enough to realize that his drinking problem cost him his job at Cincy (and might also be his kiss of death at his alma mater). Then again, this is the man that passed up the chance to coach future #1 pick in the draft Micheal Beasley. And just look at the guy...he reminds me of your drunk uncle yelling at the wall during family functions. Hey Bob, just a thought, but maybe you should lay off of grand dad's ol cough syrup for a while.
