Days after Bob Huggins resigned from his position as basketball coach at West Virginia, his daughter, Jacque Huggins, took to social media to blast university president E. Gordon Gee and the school’s board of governors for how they handled the aftermath of Huggins’s recent DUI arrest.
The 69-year-old coach resigned on Saturday, a day after being arrested in Pittsburgh for suspicion of DUI. His car was blocking traffic with a “flat and shredded tire,” and he failed multiple sobriety tests. This was Huggins’s second DUI arrest, as he previously was charged in June 2004 while coaching at Cincinnati.
In her Facebook post on Tuesday, Jacque Huggins decried Gee for the “classless” way he and the board responded to her father’s arrest, calling them “cowards, the backstabbers and most of all hypocrites.”
