Huggins needs to go

I don't know I kind of enjoy seeing you ***** slapping trolls who don't do their research.
I don't know if there is a succession plan but while I suspect WVU will let Huggins coach as long as he wants, the thing is that with his health history there could be an event at any time that necessitates a change in coaches. I'm sure the WVU higher ups have thought of this.
People talk on this board about canning Huggins but of course unless something changes drastically that's not going to happen. But a sudden health event counts as "something changing drastically."
No. Huggins shouldnt be the one deciding WVU's future.
He needs to hire the most competent assistants he can and if WVU feels one is capable of succeeding him, then so be it.
Silly.
Huggins knows how to coach offense. He coaches the whole game. Basketball is different than football. Defense/Offensive doesn't have the same distinct separation between them.
For example, Press Virginia was our offense...
If you prefer a different style, thats fine.
You can only realistically plan so much. They might have someone in mind but who knows if that person will be available when the time comes, or will still be seen as viable.
You never know, by the time Huggins retires there could be a new President and AD....who have different ideas/plans.
I don’t watch basketball.....like at all and haven’t in at least 5 years.
Let me say though, Huggins leaves when he wants. He’s a MADE GUY!
As for a National Title, WVU ain’t winning one in basketball. Chances for that ended with DeSean on the floor in Indy.
That’s my basketball post for 2016-2021. Carry on.

If Nick Saban were coaching WVU there are some on here demanding that he be fired. It's a reflection of them, not Huggins.
News on Oscar smells of tampering and dirty shoe money.
He's not old enough to remember Gale Catlett.

The irony of "super fans" liking a post that says WVU will NEVER win a national title.
Indulge me, OP. Were you saying the same thing about WVU basketball in 2007? If not, what's changed? Things weren't looking incredible for WVU then. I'm sure most fans weren't expecting to feel legitimately slightly by missing on a 1 seed and then watching a FF run the year (that included defeating likely paid under the table, future NBA all-stars) following a 1st round loss to Dayton.
What makes you so certain that in 2024 WVU doesn't go 28-5 and is a favorite for the title? What about WVU basketball makes that impossible? Is it the state? The town? The campus? The coach?
99.9% chance that you aren't a College Basketball coach
So saying that you don't like Huggins style...
Who the hell are you
Probably couldn't coach a rec league team to a championship let alone a major conference school like WV
Brother, Huggins knows a hell of a lot more about basketball than you.
Huggins style works.
He obviously believes he has to increase the talent level at WVU and is doing so.
The difference is at UC Huggins had NBA players that he hasn't had at WV. But he is trying to bring them in. A lot of them are players who might not develop as fast as you want.

There's no proof that the "higher ups have thought of this." None of the present assistant have "it" to step in.
I suggest it's time (really past time) to bring a young, innovative assistant coach. Huggs needs to be more loyal to the Mountaineer Basketball program than his assistant coaches.
My nephew knows Ron Everhart personally. Everhart and Frank Martin recruited him when they were at Northeastern together.
Have you ever listened to that man speak about basketball.
I actually had the chance to do so because I am more familiar with the game than my brother in law so I talked a a little with both Everhart and Frank Martin.
Decided to stay closer to home but it wasn't because those guys didn't know basketball
Both of those men were Huggins assistants. Like I said their basketball knowledge is unbelievable
Huggins doesn't pick ****** assistants

Some of the ones on this board running their chops probably came into WVU fandom around 2006 when they were 11. They don’t know **** about WVU sports
WTF does that mean?
Are you saying that coming into fandom at a young age does not create a "real" fan?
Does a certain date or era in which a person is first exposed to a sports team determine whether or not a person is a "real" fan?
I'm curious, what are your WVU fandom bona fides that allow you to inexplicably view yourself as a "truer" fan?
From WV? Go to WVU? Graduate from WVU? Attend games? Donate?

I'm probably on the younger side of this board, but explain why we need a young person to fix the problems you perceive?
Do you hire the youngest attorney you can find? The youngest accountant to handle your money?
If you don't fling a beer bottle against the wall during the game, you're not a true WVU fan. Your level of fandom is directly correlated to how much you pace and seethe after a loss.
Bonus points if you "brag" that "I've been worrying all week about X or Y player."

Well they've probably never attended a WVU home or road game in their entire short span of life and are more than likely they are far left Liberals that think Amen is actually a gender word.
You're just butthurt because Huggs kicked your BuckeyeAss the 3 times we played. The only 3 times when Huggs was a HC here. And you chickened out of the game this year.
Oh, AND..... 8 of the last 9 time we played since 1981.
An example of how dumpster fires start when there are no mods to put out the flames.
