From Jeff Goodman at Stadium tonight ...

West Virginia Hall of Fame coach Bob Huggins has informed his team that he won’t be coaching them and intends to resign, following last night’s DUI incident, source told Stadium. Staff members and coaches were in tears as Huggins delivered the news around 9 pm ET, source told Stadium.

Huggins told the players that he was unsure who would be coaching them this season.

Huggins, 69, has 935 career victories and has a pair of Final Four appearances. The DUI comes about six weeks after he made homophobic comments on a Cincinnati radio show. Huggins was suspended for the first three games of next season and his contract was altered to a year-by-year agreement, and he also had his pay reduced by $1 million. According to the complaint, Huggins recorded a blood alcohol level of .210 on Friday night.
