WARNING: Audio contains strong homophobic language.
Prior to the comments, Huggins was asked if he has taken an Xavier players to play to West Virginia through the transfer portal. “Catholics don’t do that,” said Hugging.
“We’re above the fracas, aren’t we,” responded Cunningham.
“Absolutely I man, I’ll tell you what, any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it, by god they can get away with anything,” said Huggins.
Huggins what the head coach of the University of Cincinnati’s basketball team from 1989 – 2005. He spent one year at Kansas State and then has been the Mountaineers coach from 2007 – present.
