Bob Huggins lawyers up, WVU responds, Huggins retaliates in wild West Virginia weekend

Two months ago, Bob Huggins was the most revered person in West Virginia. The man, who left a job at Kansas State after only one year to become the head coach at his alma mater, owned a deity-like status in the state. Then he opened his mouth on a radio call-in show in Cincinnati, offering up several slurs at Xavier and their religion. This was met with a slap on the wrist and a promise to do better and some counseling. One month later, Huggins was found nearly incoherent behind the wheel of his SUV, his tire shredded while he sat parked in the middle of the street, intoxicated to a point that would make even the hard-partying sophomores at WVU blush.
