Former West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins and his attorneys have sent a letter to the university demanding reinstatement.
According to the letters, Huggins claims he never actually resigned following his arrest for driving under the influence in June.
Here are more details:
Former West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins, who left the university in disgrace last month after a pair of public controversies, is now stating that he never resigned from his job as head coach. He is demanding reinstatement or threatening to sue, according to a letter his lawyers sent to the university.
West Virginia Metro News columnist Hoppy Kercheval first reported the news and shared a portion from the letter from Huggins’ attorneys.
The school has since said Huggins did resign in June and will not be reinstating him, calling the statements laid out in the letter “completely factually inaccurate” and setting the table for a potential legal spat.
“Coach Huggins never signed a resignation letter and never communicated a resignation to anyone at WVU. Accordingly, the WVU public comments are not only false, but appear to be an after-the-fact attempt to remedy WVU’s breach of the Employment,” the letter reads, in part.
