Editor’s note: Bob Huggins resigned Saturday night hours after this article was published.
Bob Huggins has let down many people over the past six weeks. But the first person he let down was the man he sees in the mirror every day, failing to comport himself with the level of accountability he has demanded from his players.
There is no joy in seeing someone immolate a Hall of Fame career the way Huggins has, but there also is no need to equivocate over what should happen next. Huggins narrowly kept his job as men’s basketball coach at West Virginia last month. This month, after another act of self-sabotage, it’s time for him to go.
