Bob Huggins maintains he's still coach at WVU

Bob Huggins doubled down on his tedious legal Hail Mary on Monday, releasing a lengthy statement on letterhead that was titled "West Virginia University Head Basketball Coach" under his name.

Problem is, Josh Eilert is officially the head coach of the Mountaineers.

The statement follows a bizarre back-and-forth late Saturday night between a new attorney representing Huggins and the university, in which lawyer David A. Campbell maintained Huggins never resigned following a DUI arrest last month.

In fact, Campbell threatened to sue if West Virginia did not reinstate Huggins. Meanwhile, two other attorneys for Huggins have been actively working with WVU on retirement benefits.
