Bob Huggins in trouble again

[BoulderSooner]

It may hurt them this season, but I think West Virginia is smart to conduct a national search rather than just making one of the assistants the interim coach. Now, I’m not sure what good candidates are out there in the middle of June …

i mean i think they can get most of who they could get in april / may ..

Huh? Can you think of any of the hot coaching candidates after last season who haven’t already taken new jobs?

 

[Eielson]

If making one of the assistants the interim head coach led to the roster staying together, I would do that. I doubt it would keep the roster together, though. They could be in for a brutal year.

Is there a wvu power forward we can have?

They got the stud from Syracuse in the portal. But I’m sure we have no shot since people say we don’t have the NIL to compete. I just hope he leaves the conference if he goes elsewhere.

go get frank martin, since his only success was following hugs at kstate. lol. they are in a tough position. i think they have to go interim, or they could set the program back several more years. i would be pretty bummed if joe had to do a national search in the summer after the offseason has essentially settled.

I think they view it the other way. If they settle for an interim just to placate the current players, it won’t be good in the long run if they don’t find the right fit. But either way, it’s a very tough situation.

Huggins is a confirmed idiot

 

[WTSooner]

kind of a gray area

Not really.

NCAA clearly said your coach leaving isn't grounds for a free transfer.

 

[WTSooner]

Internet rumor that Joe M. of the Celtics might be interested. No idea the validity.

 

[WTSooner]

Also pretty funny what generates posts around here.

It's not the OU basketball program. But all this other garbage until boulder steps in and puts a stop to it. Then back to 2-5 posts a day.

Floodgates are opening at WVU.

Floodgates are opening at WVU.

Once they hire a coach, this will be the ultimate test case in how quickly a program can rebuild in the portal age. If they lose all or most of their starters in late June, the new coach will be in as tough a spot as anyone has been for quite some time.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Apparently West Virginia has decided to name an assistant the interim head coach for this season. I bet they found that it was extremely difficult to find any strong candidates this time of year.

 

[Eielson]

It's the smart move if they can salvage any of this roster. Then they have all year for the coaching search.

 

[NickZepp]

Huggins sent in a letter to be reinstated or he'll sue. Claims he never resigned. LMAO.

I hope he’s smart about this. He’s one of my top 5 favorite college coaches & he’s destroying his legacy.

 

[hoopsaustin]

What an idiot x2

Sadly I think the ship has already sailed on him being smart about this. And I say this as someone who always enjoyed him. But the last three months have been awful. He should have just gone quietly into the sunset.

Maybe he was drunk when he resigned
