Seemingly ok. Went to his knees during a TO. Looked to me like he was touching his heart area afterward a couple of times. Hope all is ok. I know he's had issues before.

He looked bad to me at the Kansas game the last week. Thought he might keel over at any moment in that one. He needs to take a break and get healthy.

For health sake, He needs to drop about 100 lbs. he's becoming the next Rick Majerus.
I've thought the same thing for the past 3-4 years. Seems as if he's gotten bigger after his heart attack.

Story told in the game on Coach Bob Huggins & John Calipari being good friends. Huggins had a heart attack in the Pittsburgh Airport once. The paramedic in the ambulance was Cal's cousin who told Bob he wouldn't let him die until Cal beats him. At the time, he hadn't beat him yet.

Dude is on the refs *** constantly throughout the game. I've never seen anything like it. I know the refs are bad, but Jesus, he bitches about every single call. He's always been like that. That old grey haired assistant that sits behind him is just as bad LOL. Always throwing his arms up and shaking his head with his mouth open.

I suffered a heart attack at the young age of 44. I'm now 60 and can still remember the pain. Believe me when I say none of you ever want to experience a heart attacked. I'm was never a fan of Huggins, but I do respect him as a coach. I hope everything works out for him. After my heart attack I stopped getting stressed out about things I could not control and I am a lot happier. The stress of being a college head coach is off the scales, but he is still doing it.

There hasn't been enough discussion of the fact that he picked himself up off the floor, walked around, and then blamed someone to his face for causing the episode. What a hardass.

Maybe he was actually just joking with him when blaming the guy. Huggy has quite a sense of humor and probably did the "You're playing so bad you about gave me a heart attack" card. Maybe trying to calm the team down a bit afterward too. Not a bob fan but could see him doing that.

He might want to start walking the hills of Morgantown instead of taking his personal driver everywhere. He might drop a few lb's along the way.

If you gotta have a stool to sit on while you are coaching, it might be a sign to slow er' down and take a break from your job until you are healthy enough to stand for and hour or two straight.

His defibrillator "Ticker-Kicker" went off. If you've ever been around someone when that happens they describe it as feeling like a horse kicking them in the chest or back. Once he got up he looked at one of the refs and jokingly said "you did this to me". If I'm UK I don't want to meet WV in the tourney with the team we have this year.
