[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 130719213, member: 1476506"] I don’t watch or even follow basketball but one theory could be West wrote a book about his time under leather jacket and it wasn’t very flattering. It told how leather jacket was really a jerk to a lot of his players. Now I don’t mean Bobby Knight on Neil Reed style. I mean more demeaning and verbally threatening/intimidation for after players were done playing for him. He threatened to ruin players for European Ball and other leagues. It was controlling and demeaning and signs of a pathetic coach IF TRUE! Idk I always thought Leather Jacket could be a real jerk despite the charm & smile in the Walker Machinery tv ads. I saw a few practices over the years. The book was reportedly something that West said ‘he had to do to get closure’. It also maybe made him Kryptonite to maybe some people. Idk. Honestly idk. Another theory of equal likelihood could be Huggins didn’t want the son of a guy who knocked down a buzzer beater in 96 to upset the bearcats and Huggy Bear in the NCAA tournament and keep them out of the sweet 16.
