As I said on @finalfourcast podcast last week.. we have a elite 8 team.. now’s the time that they band together and get it done.. keep the staff intact at least for the remainder of this year and let them finish what they started .. My humble opinion

Huggins’ former assistants also shared their thoughts.

Sitting in my car and I’m miserable. My heart is bleeding and my eyes are crying. I love you @CoachHuggs you are the brother I never had. 💔
