Excerpt: Bob Huggins, nicknamed "Huggy Bear", (born September 21, 1953 in Morgantown, West Virginia) is the head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball team. Huggins previously held the head coaching positions at the University of Cincinnati (1989-2005) and Kansas State University (2006-2007). His 690-251 record (.733) during his 28 seasons as a head coach ranks him eighth in winning percentage and fourth in victories among active Division I coaches. He is one of only 6 active Division I coaches with 600 career victories. Huggins has been to 15 total NCAA tournaments, including 14 of the last 15 seasons. Huggins' teams have participated in the postseason 25 of 28 times, including two Final Fours: 1992 with Cincinnati, 2010 with West Virginia. Huggins has averaged 23.6 wins per season, including 25.6 his last 15 years. On April 5, 2007, he accepted an offer to return to coach his alma mater of West Virginia University. After leading the Mountaineers to a Sweet 16 appearance, Huggins signed an 11-year contract with the university after the season ended. Huggins, who had moved to Port Washington, Ohio with his family, played basketball for his father, Charles, at Indian Valley South High School. As a senior, he helped lead his team to a 26-0 season. Huggins began college at Ohio University. But Huggins returned to his native West Virginia, after transferring out from Ohio after his freshman season, playing point guard for the West Virginia University Mountaineers from 1975 until 1977. Huggins' career-high was 28 points against Virginia Tech, he averaged 13.2 points as a senior, and he totaled 800 career points in his three collegiate seasons. Teammate Maurice Robinson said of Huggins as a player, "You always knew that he was going to be successful in whatever he did because he worked real hard." Cut after a 1977 tryout with the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, Huggins subsequently pursued a Master's degree. Huggins launched his coaching career as a graduate assistant
