West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins took us inside his thoughts, and there might be no going back.
is almost secondary. He is exposed for who he is, because in what the hosts were framing as a casual discussion about transfers, Huggins grabbed hold of the conversation and took it directly in an indefensible direction. The audio has a strong it’s-just-us-guys-here vibe to it, and we know the humor just us guys enjoy when the doors are closed, right?
The particulars: With Huggins as his guest by phone, longtime Cincinnati radio host Bill Cunningham asked the coach if his incoming class of transfers included any former Xavier players. Huggins coached at Cincinnati for 16 seasons, and knows intimately the rivalry known as the Crosstown Shootout.“Any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it, my God, they can get away with anything,” Huggins said, a reference to — well, that’s not entirely clear.
Cunningham, who was joined in studio by former Huggins assistant coach Steve Moeller, guffawed. Cunningham then tossed in what he clearly believed was a joke: “I think it was ‘transgender night,’ wasn’t it?”“What it was was all those f-gs, those Catholic f-gs, I think,” he said. There was an awkward pause before Huggins said, “They were envious they didn’t have one.”“He’s the best,” Moeller responded., let alone 2023.
Imagine being a West Virginia player, a West Virginia staff member, a West Virginia student assistant who identifies as LGBTQ. How you felt about Huggins Sunday and what you know about him Tuesday have to be completely different, and the bell can’t be unrung. There is raw honesty in that audio that is alarming, an attempt to turn sexual identity into humor.
I have covered Bob Huggins’s games. I do not know Bob Huggins. But I do know him better than I did over the weekend. And the disturbing part about that new familiarity isn’t so much that the words were broadcast on the air and later distributed on the internet. The disturbing part is that a man entrusted with molding young minds kept that kind of thinking in his own.
