The Bob Huggins era at West Virginia is ending in an ugly fashion.
Huggins' resignation came the same day his arrest on Friday night was reported. Per a police report, officers found the 69-year-old's car blocking a road with the driver-side door open and one of the tires shredded. Officers suspected Huggins to be intoxicated while instructing him to move his car to the side of the road, then pulled him over and issued a field sobriety test, which he failed.
Huggins reportedly blew a .210 on a breathalyzer. Officers also allegedly found a trash bag with empty beer cans on the passenger-side floor.West Virginia University is aware of an incident last night involving Head Men's Basketball Coach Bob Huggins, for which he was charged with Driving Under the Influence in the City of Pittsburgh. We are gathering more information and will take appropriate action once the review is complete.
West Virginia suspended Huggins for three games, reduced his salary by $1 million and required him to go to sensitivity training. School president Gordon Gee and athletic director Wren Baker released a statement at the time, which said,"Any incidents of similar derogatory and offensive language will result in immediate termination."
