[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131973591, member: 1812660"] I agree with criticisms of Huggins. While at WVU, JB seemed to think strength training and playing tough in the paint was mutually exclusive with his motion offense. Huggins and some of his more sychophantic followers has the opposite issue in thinking a solid half court offense with competent shooters is mutually exclusive with defense, hustle, and rebounding. It is currently the 12th season since WVU went to the Final Four and WVU hasn't been any closer during that span than JB was in 2004-2005. Currently WVU seems far from a possible Sweet 16 team which is concerning and past the point where it's reasonable to say WVU just needs to "get over the hump" or "turn the corner" Thus, while Huggins has a great resume and has done good things for WVU basketball, his performance of late hasn't been great and history says that even great coaches at this point in their career is unlikely to do better than what they've done so far.
