Quickdraw Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I read with interest the earlier thread in which Skip, et al, discussed Huggins and his court appearance. Since no one else made any mention of the Wed. radio guest on the Frank and Tim show, I'll give you all a summary of what was said. The guest was Cincy radio personality Bill Cunningham. They wanted his take on the Bob Huggins situation. In his opinion, Huggins has been, and continues to be, on a path of self-destruction. Despite his recent heart attack, he continues to overeat and gain weight; he smokes; he has an obvious problem with alcoholism. He is known sometimes to be hammered the night prior to basketball games. Cunningham described previous instances of "day-long binges" which included police involvement, but in which the police simply took the coach home. The University is not happy with the situation. The administration wants him to enter a legitimate alcoholism program along the lines of the Betty Ford clinic. To this point Huggins is refusing to do so. Frank asked Cunningham what he thought the odds would be of Huggins coaching another Bearcats game. His answer: maybe one in five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 That is info I didn't know. If he really needs help I hope he gets it. What is the take on this from some of the Cinci posters like Naricat.
