Bob Huggins' situation with West Virginia University has gotten messy, as his attorney is claiming he didn't formally resign and wants to resume his role as head basketball coach.

released a statement last month, which was attributed to Huggins, that announced his resignation as head coach after 16 years with the program as well as his retirement following a DUI arrest.

"Based on press statements, it appears that WVU is taking the position that Coach Huggins voluntarily resigned and terminated the Employment Agreement in advance of April 30, 2024,"."However, although the press statements purport to have resignation communications directly from Coach Huggins to you and/or the Athletic Director, Coach Huggins has never communicated his resignation to you, the Athletic Director, or anyone at WVU.

"Coach Huggins was involved in an incident in Pittsburgh that is now close to being fully resolved without charges. Moreover, Coach Huggins has voluntarily sought rehabilitation following the incident in order to leave no doubt that he is fully capable of returning to his duties as WVU Head Basketball Coach," the letter continued.
