for using an anti-gay slur while also denigrating Catholics during a radio interview.
It was Huggins’ second such arrest. The other occurred in 2004 when he was the head coach at Cincinnati.West Virginia’s athletic department said in a statement it was aware of Friday’s incident. "We are gathering more information and will take appropriate action once the review is complete," the statement said.
In June 2004, Huggins pleaded no contest to driving under the influence in a suburb of Cincinnati and was ordered to attend a three-day intervention program. The University of Cincinnati suspended him indefinitely with pay and told Huggins to rehabilitate himself. Last month Huggins agreed to a three-game suspension, a $1 million salary reduction and sensitivity training forduring an interview with Cincinnati radio station WLW. Huggins was asked about the transfer portal and whether he had a chance of landing a player at West Virginia from Xavier, a Jesuit school.
