Bob Huggins torches Marshall's basketball program after WVU-MU game

West Virginia beat Marshall 69-66 in the state's annual Capital Classic game on Sunday in Charleston.
After the game, Marshall's coach Dan D'Antoni said in the press conference about continuing the WVU-Marshall rivalry: "It's good for the state. If they back out now they're afraid of us. We're coming back."
On his call-in show, Huggins decided to pretty much obliterate Marshall.

I probably coached a thousand games. And now I'm scared. Scared to play Marshall. Scared to death...must have been when I turned 61 that the fear set in because I've never been afraid before. But that's what the word is. I guess I'm getting old.... The whole thing's comical. I happen to get the paper. We have a little column about what a rivalry we have. But really the headline is the University High girls. And above that Trickett's in limbo. And they think this is a rivalry... How can it be a rivalry when they don't even write about it in the paper. I mean, those are the guys asking me the questions. 'Is this a rivalry?' Well obviously not you don't write about it. I mean, rivalries they put on the front page. They can't wait, you know what I mean? They get very excited. We obviously don't get very excited.
quote:
Let's be honest. I have all the RPIs of all the people we've played this year. Going into the game Marshall was 270. After playing us they jumped all the way up to 237. Now, you know what that would do for us if we happen not to win? We were I think 36 coming into the game. You try not to play anybody below 200, you know that. And now they want to play twice in a year? Are you kidding me?

VMI's RPI is better than Marshall's. Come on. It doesn't help us. From a pure basketball standpoint of where we want to go it does not help us. Now it helps them. I understand his standpoint, it helps them. Oh, to get us to come in, fill their place with 7,000 people that's a big thing for them. It's not my job to do that. That's his job.
quote:
And the thing that's most laughable and I'll get in trouble for saying it I know but I'm to the point in my life where I really don't care. How about this: "we're back." That was their sixth loss in a row. 'We're back' alright. Honestly it becomes laughable. It's laughable. So they lose by three, "we're back." It's their sixth loss in a row. Three of them at home.

Tony: So would it bother you if the game went away?
Huggs: No.
Tony: It would not?
Huggs: No. Not at all. Not at all.

Huggie Bear dont play

I've never met the guy, but Huggins has always seemed like kind of a dick. In this instance though, he's 100% right.

Both schools are owned by the taxpayers of West Virginia. Gracious they can play once a year without it hurting Huggins' program.

That's a lot of words just to say you don't care about Marshall.

Oh Thuggins

it's so refreshing to hear a coach actually speak his mind and not talk in generic coachspeak

He says he isn't scared but then he openly worries about what would happen to his RPI if he lost. So yea, he scared.

Hugg's give a sh#t ON [OFF]. Something tells me he'll have some more gems before he retires. And yeah, Marshall treats this like their annual Final Four. It's always an unwatchable foul fest, and a totally contrived rivalry. Contrivalry.

Huggins is a shell of his former self.
he's becoming the bitter, jackass next door. "Get off my Lawn"

Pretty lame, I have to say

I was with Huggins' wife when she got her first Brazilian.

He sounds pretty bitter after winning. It's always funny for a team to stop playing in-state schools because of "it does us no good" speak, then pay a scrub to replace it. I always see it as a spoiled ploy, made by someone who can't tolerate losing to little brother. And that sounds like a rivalry, just one side has a bitch for a coach who tries to diminish it.
