The Shotgun/Throwdown: Bob Huggins shows support for West Virginia’s new Director of Athletics

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins is showing his support of the school’s new Director of Athletics, Wren Baker. The Hall of Fame coach started learning about Baker with the input of his friends and colleagues, saying, “Everybody who called me said you’re getting a terrific AD.” Baker is known to be a successful fundraiser and an AD with a good eye for coaching talent. Huggins also spoke to the new AD earlier this week, when he stopped by the Mountaineers’ practice.
