Longtime West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins apologized on Monday afternoon after he used an anti-gay slur during an appearance on a Cincinnati sports radio show.
Huggins, in a statement released through the school, said he used "a completely insensitive and abhorrent phrase that there is simply no excuse for."

Huggins appeared on the Bill Cunningham Show on Monday, which appears on Cincinnati radio station 700WLW. Pretty quickly into the interview, Huggins was asked about whether he had “poached any Xavier guys to come to West Virginia” in the transfer portal.
