Here’s to hoping Teddy Buckets isn’t dealing with some of his mental health demons he has battled all his life. Really affable kid.
Its amazing how many talented kids Huggy kicks off and just keeps winning. That dude from Nicholls State he booted lit us up. Huggy has NOOO problem getting talent to come to Morgantown
Must have been a road game because we have all been told that the RAC is an impossible place to win at.
Remember when Oscar left and HUGGY said they’d be better and they were? What an incredible coach
Huggs is a legend. Yet, even he has had to hit the reset button a time or two on rosters.
Yep and everytime I think he's done and then like a year later he's back in the NCAAT. All things being equal, he may be one of the Top 10 coaches ever and I say that because he has never coached a blue blood or "almost blue blood"
Oscar leaving was enlightening. Technically, are we really a better team without Oscar? Probably not. However, Oscar leaving allowed us to realize that we are an offensive team and that’s how we were built...with the exception of Oscar, who was a high motor monster last season. Our offense was not spaced at all though with he and Culver in the game.
I would say that Huggy has an enormous amount of respect from just about all of the long-time posters here. Hard to say a bad word about him. Even his grumpiness is charming.
Yep, no doubt. He’s kind of a difficult person to dislike. What you see is what you get.
He's a Hoopie, so I hate him.
But damn, is that sonofabitch one heck of a basketball coach. Dude should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago.
Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. I have a buddy who coached a ton of basketball ( and is a really good guy fwiw) and he and Huggs roomed together for 3-4 weeks one summer working a basketball camp somewhere when they were both just starting out. Well about 2-3 years later, I think Huggs was an assistant at OSU or somewhere, Huggs was speaking at a clinic my buddy attended, well after the talk my buddy goes up to see him and Huggs was a complete jerk, really blew him off, I still laugh about it...my buddy just shakes his head
Ha. If Huggs saw him now, he’d probably apologize and buy him a beer. I bet Huggs was a prick when he was younger.
It’s been interesting to see his transformation over the years. He’d get hot over calls regularly. He still isn’t afraid to bitch at an official but he’s much calmer (age and health will do that). Also, I’ve NEVER seen a coach work the officials more than Bob Huggins.
Puking on your own shoes while screaming at cops “don’t you know who I am ?!?” Likely shows it wasn’t just a youth thing
I recall a couple dustups he started at the Fitz. Nasty SOB. Grg and Joedy Gardner had to be restrained, Tiger Paul got into with the coon hat. Such fun!!
I saw him about 10 years ago at O'Hare airport. He seemed to be arguing with a gate attendant about his seat assignment. Walking over to sit back down, he picked up his carry on bag over his head and slammed it on the floor.
I decided it wasn't a good time to say hi and identify myself as a Pitt fan.

No one brave enough to say that a former Pitt player (Trey) played well against Rutgers. LOL! We are hilarious!!!
John Beilein was recruiting a teammate of mine so I got to a play a 2 on 2 game so he can evaluate the other player. Unfortunately, he did not offer me a scholarship.
