West Virginia HC Bob Huggins uses offensive slur on air during radio interview

Bob Huggins used a gay slur multiple times during an interview on Monday.

Huggins, a former University of Cincinnati basketball coach who currently coaches at West Virginia, joined Bill Cunningham’s show on 700 WLW in Cincinnati for an appearance on Monday. Joining Cunningham for the interview was former Cincinnati assistant basketball coach Steve Moeller.

Huggins was praised for the strong class of transfers he recruited this year. He was jokingly asked whether his West Virginia team got any transfer players from Xavier in Cincinnati.

“Catholics don’t do that,” Huggins said regarding transfers. “I tell you what, any school who can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it? My god, they can get away with anything.”

The hosts then joked about the circumstances behind the apparent rubber toy-throwing incident that they seemed to indicate happened during a Crosstown Shootout rivalry game between Cincinnati and Xavier.

“It was a crosstown shootout. No, what it was was all those f--s. All those Catholic f--s. They were envious they didn’t have one,” Huggins said.
