West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins resigned Saturday night in the wake of his arrest for driving under the influence in Pittsburgh Friday night, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports.
“My recent actions do not represent the values of the University or the leadership expected in this role,” Huggins said in a statement released by the school. “While I have always tried to represent our University with honor, I have let all of you – and myself – down. I am solely responsible for my conduct and sincerely apologize to the University community – particularly to the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program. I must do better, and I plan to spend the next few months focused on my health and my family so that I can be the person they deserve.”
Huggins also appeared to signal he may be done with coaching altogether, as he said he informed the school of his “resignation and intention to retire as head men's basketball coach at West Virginia University.”
