Ex-WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins is in a diversion program and must complete an alcohol treatment program to resolve his drunken driving arrest.
Huggins stopped his SUV in the middle of traffic in Pittsburgh with a shredded tire on June 16. A breath test determined his blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit and he was arrested.
West Virginia announced the next day that Huggins had resigned, based in part on a text message sent from the cellphone of Huggins' wife to a deputy athletic director. A week later, an interim replacement was named for the 2023-24 season.and wanted to keep his job. He also said he had checked into a rehabilitation facility.
West Virginia has steadfastly maintained its stance that Huggins resigned, even though he accused the university of issuing a"false statement" sent in his name that he didn't write or review.during a radio interview in May. After that incident, Huggins was suspended for three games, his salary of $4.15 million was cut by $1 million and his contract was reduced to a year-by-year review.
Under the contract Huggins signed in 2021, the university could have fired him for cause for conduct resulting in criminal charges, regardless of a conviction. Huggins, 69, entered the Basketball Hall of Fame last September. He is the third-winningest coach all time in Division I with 935 victories, trailing only Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Jim Boeheim of Syracuse , both of whom are retired.
