Huggins Deserves Plaudits
Huggins has a unique coaching style. He has developed a reputation as a yeller and a screamer, a younger Bobby Knight if you will. While that isn't necessarily false -- I don't know if there are five people in this profession better at berating an official or a player -- Huggins is actually very calm on the sideline 90 percent of the time.
"I just stand over there," Huggins said. "I can't sit, so I stand. If I could sit I would probably sit." That said, there may not be a more demanding coach in the country than Huggins. Simply put, he expects the best from each and every one of his players. And whether it is great coaching, an ability to motivate, or intimidation -- is it possible he scares his players into playing their best to avoid a screaming session? -- Huggins always seems to get the most out of the guys that come through his program. I mean, this isn't exactly a team chock full of all-americans and lottery picks. West Virginia just won the toughest conference tournament in the country, and they did it with just one five-star (Devin Ebanks) and one four-star (Kevin Jones) recruit. Butler and Wellington Smith were three-star recruits, as was Truck Bryant. Joe Mazzulla and Cam Thoroughman were two-star recruits. http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/ar...4/2227652.aspx |

Look at Pitt even. They lost everyone from last year and didn't miss a beat. Oh and Mazzula only avg about 14 min. a game. And Wellington Smith's pts and rebounds are less than Rashad Bishop. Not exactly a big time recruit for Belien. Nice try Ralphy. |

One, thats not the case so its irrelevant.
Two, 21-13 is still better than our record. Three, stop posting dumb comments based on your dislike for Bob Huggins, they are not logical or reasonable in any way.

I'm certain that is not the argument here. We are all over the Huggins cituation. But to say that he didn't make WVU who they are, is false.
