May 10, 20232 yr When I worked at WVU in Motown the DEI department was a joke. The sensitivity training will be “don’t say it in public you fucking idiot”
May 10, 20232 yr I knew, as soon as he was not immediately fired, that he would be back. Hoopies ain't going to waste that transfer portal class.

May 10, 20232 yr Hahahahaha! Who wants to bet me that after this season he’ll get a $2 million raise?

May 10, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Blotto said: WVU should PPV Huggins going through sensitivity training. I had the same exact thought! The least they could do is make it free, though.
May 10, 20232 yr I’m not sure why people expected him to be fired. He’s the most successful thing at that hillbilly trash school. Without him that state has nothing except those blue people. And they just paid for an elite transfer class and he is a HOFer Let’s be honest—I’m not saying what he said was probably celebrated in that entire state but he was never in danger of losing his job. WVu doing what they are doing now is more about the looks of it, and that’s it. Even the national sports writers who were tweeting daily for Texas to fire Beard haven’t been giving near the vitriol towards Huggins about this.
May 10, 20232 yr Quote To begin, the Athletics Department will partner with WVU’s LGBTQ+ Center to develop annual training sessions that will address all aspects of inequality including homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism and more. This training and programming will be required of Coach Huggins and all current and future athletics coaching staff. First night of WVU athletics coaching offsite 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. Looks like we have the makings of a PPV franchise... "Awkward as fuck time spent with coach Huggins".

If he gets to the elite 8 or better he'll get a 1M bonus and a free pass coupon to drop the N word on his coaches show. Edited May 10, 20232 yr by ChiTownDoc Math is hard.

May 10, 20232 yr A Million dollar bonus for an EE appearance? Looks like UK's been saving some dough the last few seasons.

FFS, just put his ass to pasture already. He's already in the Naismith Hall of Fame and can't even sit in a fucking chair. Just go enjoy your retirement and bitch about teh gheys with whatever time you got left you ancient fuck. BTW, this is almost exactly what happened to Gundy for a far far far less serious snafu which was way more tone deaf than hateful.

May 11, 20232 yr I think WVU is a terrible institution and have no love lost for it, but I will say... Huggy's apology was an actual apology with none of the BS excuses that usually occur in "apologies" (see Beard, Chris). I'll give him credit for that.

Not really, especially since there's no way he came up with this statement. It was clearly written by a pr professional, and he surely knew at the time that the "consequences" would be, as it turned out, basically nothing. You don't use language like that on the radio like it's normal and minutes later feel "ashamed and embarrassed." He was told to let the pr department come up with a statement and we'll "punish" you tomorrow, wink, wink. “As I have shared with my players over my 40 years of coaching, there are consequences for our words and actions, and I will fully accept any coming my way. I am ashamed and embarrassed and heartbroken for those I have hurt. I must do better, and I will.”

If it’s anything like Oklahoma the state legislature will probably just make “sensitivity” training illegal for public employees like “diversity” training. Either way, he won’t be sitting through any such nonsense. If they want a paper trail maybe they’ll send him a zoom link and mark him as in attendance.
June 17, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, 4th&Five said: I don't know if the bigger shock is that Huggins was near a Taylor Swift concert or that he's only 69. That's a hard, hard 69, even for West Virginia

June 17, 20232 yr Strike two dumbass. Now he just needs to bang a co-ed staffer for the trifecta, and maybe then they’ll seriously consider letting him go.
June 17, 20232 yr I visited Cincinnati for a conference once. There at the Marriott bar, fresh off a DUI arrest, was Huggins. This news dies not surprise.

June 17, 20232 yr His teams have been mediocre for awhile now. It's baffling to not fire someone who does dumb shit that makes your school look bad AND doesn't win. Especially when the firing would be for cause.
June 17, 20232 yr Strike two dumbass. Now he just needs to bang a co-ed staffer for the trifecta, and maybe then they’ll seriously consider letting him go. How long before he pulls a Larry Eustachy and heads to the dorms with some Natty Light?
June 17, 20232 yr I was at the Basketball Hall of Fame a few weeks ago and they had on display a pullover worn by Huggins so this hits close to home. Edited June 17, 20232 yr by Francisco 2.0
June 17, 20232 yr They’ve got that #1-ranked transfer class so it will be very interesting to see how this evolves.
