PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – A million-dollar salary reduction, a significant suspension and sensitivity training, what ESPN’s Pete Thamel is reporting Bob Huggins will face after using an anti-gay slur in a live interview with a Cincinnati radio station on Monday.
According to Thamel some of the details are still being finalized after two days of internal school discussions.
The 69-year-old not only Mountaineers coach, but Mountaineers Hall of Fame coach, will still make $3.2 million even after the salary reduction.
Huggins is eighth on the Division 1 men’s basketball all-time wins list with 863 (345 at WVU) and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last year. He also has arguably the best transfer portal recruiting class in the country for this coming season, including Arizona point guard Kerr Kriisa and Syracuse post player Jesse Edwards-two of the top 10 transfers in the nation.
