Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that Bob Huggins makes life in the Big 12 more interesting. Today, Texas Tech basketball fans get their first reminder of how entertainingly infuriating the 66-year old can be as he scowls at the court from his perch atop his court-side stool in an attempt to intimidate both his team and the officials into bending to his will.
Before we discuss what makes Huggins so dislikeable, let’s first give the devil his due. He’s proven to be a fantastic college coach. The 2015 Big 12 Coach of the Year and the Conference USA Coach of the Decade for his work at Cincinnatti in the 1990s, the Morgantown native has an overall record of 861-373 in 38 years on the bench.
