Campus Connection: Change A Constant With Huggs

Bob Huggins and flexibility in the same sentence?

But how else can you explain his phenomenal success?

When Huggins started at Walsh College in 1980 there was no shot clock, no 3-point arc and defense was played at an arm’s-length distance from the person with the basketball.

He won then, and he has continued to win through the years.

Why?

How?

Because Huggins has always stayed one step ahead of the game.

“He always tells me the way you start out as a coach is not the way you are going to end as a coach,” said WVU assistant coach Erik Martin, who played for Huggins on his first Final Four team at Cincinnati in 1992.
