Bob Huggins says he never resigned as West Virginia’s basketball coach following a drunken-driving arrest and wants his job back, according to a letter from his attorney to the university.
Campbell’s letter said the university announced Huggins’ resignation “based on a text message from Coach Huggins’ wife” to Steve Uryasz, West Virginia’s deputy athletic director.The university responded to Campbell in a letter Saturday that read, in part: “We are frankly confused by the allegations within the letter.”
WVU said Huggins met with his players and members of the basketball staff on June 17 “to announce that he would no longer be coaching the team.”It said Huggins “clearly” communicated his resignation and retirement in writing and that “both parties have reasonably relied on that resignation and retirement notification in a number of ways since then.
The notice was sent from an email address associated with June Huggins, with a signature indicating it was sent via iPhone. It was sent to Uryasz’s email address and did not appear to be a text message, as Campbell claimed.“We accept your resignation and wish you the best in retirement. We appreciate your many years of dedication to WVU.”One announced Huggins’ resignation.
Campbell said Huggins’ contract required the coach to send a notice in writing by registered or certified mail to the athletic director and university general counsel.Rather, he is simply looking for the correction of a clear breach of his employment agreement with WVU.”The 69-year-old Huggins was the third-winningest coach all-time in Division I with 935 victories, trailing only Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Jim Boeheim of Syracuse , both of whom are retired.
In 41 seasons, his teams went to 25 NCAA Tournaments and finished ranked in the AP top 10 seven times.
