West Virginia and men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins are finalizing details for him to return as the school’s coach following his use of an anti-LGBTQ slur in a radio interview earlier this week, according to a report by Mike Casazza of 247Sports.
As part of the agreement to return, Huggins is expected to receive a three-game suspension, a $1 million salary reduction, and he will be required to attend sensitivity training, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports.
On Monday, Huggins referred to Xavier fans as “Catholic f--s” on the Bill Cunningham Show on WLW-AM. The former Cincinnati coach was reminiscing about the Bearcats’ rivalry with the Musketeers, named the Crosstown Shootout, and his use of the slur drew laughter from the show’s hosts.
