SAN JOSE, Calif. — Bob Huggins and Mark Few, coaching icons from different sides of the continent and different ends of the extrovert scale, became friends more than a decade ago through clinics.
They took turns praising and prodding one another Wednesday in advance of West Virginia’s Sweet 16 game against Gonzaga.
“Fewy? He’s actually fun to be with,” Huggins said. “He doesn’t look like that, but he’s actually a lot of fun to be with.”
Few complimented Huggins for being “real” both in public and private situations. The lone exception might be Huggins’ alleged affinity for fishing.
