West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins was arrested on Friday night for DUI in Pittsburgh. This is Huggins’ second offense with the first coming in 2004 when he was at Cincinnati.

Huggins’ news spread all over social media on Saturday morning.

Bob Huggins went from having the court named after him and a statue out front, to being run off campus in a little over a month.

Bob Huggins is not a small man.
The amount of drinks to get to .210 is absolutely staggering

Now that there is a police report and not just internet rumors … Huggins has to be the dumbest dude on the planet. He got reprieve from his radio nonsense but the ink ain’t even dried from that. He needs to be fired today. https://t.co/QDHTc1pAzo

Sad to hear about @CoachHuggs. Most important thing is not coaching but his health and well being He must address the problem. He needs to face the issue.

It would be a shame if this is how Bob Huggins’ coaching career ends – he’s one of the greats, after all – but it’s hard to feel sympathy for him here. It’s entirely self-inflicted.
Call an Uber, don’t use homophobic slurs. This isn’t hard.

Bob Huggins building a top transfer portal class, then getting arrested for DUI & using a slur on a podcast was not on my radar this off-season.

Bob Huggins makes $8,800 a day.
Get an Uber.

Bob Huggins is old and very very rich. And on a zero tolerance policy. Pay for a driver. Or a friggin Uber. I don’t get it.
