Bob Huggins might not coach another college game ever again after what came out of his mouth this week.
The UC basketball coaching legend used a homophobic slur during an interview with 700 WLW’s Bill Cunningham on Monday. Cincinnati’s all-time winningest head coach said Xavier players wouldn’t transfer to West Virginia because “Catholics don’t do that.” He then used the slur.
Huggins: “Any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then says they didn’t do it, by god they can get away with anything.”
Cunningham: “I think it was transgender night wasn’t it?”
Huggins: “It was a Crosstown Shootout, yeah, no, what it was, was all those f, those Catholic f, I think.”
Cunningham: “All right.”
Huggins: “They were envious they didn’t have one.”

The current West Virginia head coach just got inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and is one of the winningest coaches in CBB history.
Huggins won 398 games with the Bearcats from 1990-05.
Given the climate we are in, it is hard to see how Huggins would escape this scenario unscathed. He may have just sent himself into an early retirement.
It did not take very long for him to release a statement where he stated he would accept any punishment coming his way.
