West Virginia coach Bob Huggins plans to resign as Mountaineers men’s basketball coach after he was arrested Friday night in Pittsburgh for driving under the influence of alcohol, sources told CBS Sports. Huggins, who informed the team of impending resignation on Saturday night, intends to retire from the coaching profession.
Huggins, who has two Final Fours and more than four decades of coaching to his name, is one of the biggest figures in college basketball. Until his ouster, he was the active leader in Division I wins (934), his head-coaching career dating back to Walsh College in 1980. Huggins was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022, an achievement that many in the basketball community considered long overdue, even in spite of Huggins never reaching the national title game.
