HUGGINS TO COACH KANSAS STATE Bob Huggins has been appointed as coach of Kansas State's basketball coach after sixteen years with the Cincinnati bearcats, where he turned the Bearcats into a national power but was removed as coach last august after a drunken-driving conviction and a clash with the college's president. He will replace Jim Wooldridge, who was fifteen-thirteen this past season at Kansas State.
The Wildcats have not been to the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament since 1996, but the fifty-two-year-old Huggins will be stepping into a promising situation with most of the basketball team's top players returning next season. He agreed to leave Cincinnati last August when university president Nancy Zimpher would not extend his 4-year contract after his arrest and conviction for drunk driving in 2004. |

He accepted a $3 million payout after a very public squabble with Zimpher, who did not like the way he ran the Bearcats program. Cincinnati claimed the arrest was just the culmination of many problems. He also had been criticized for a low graduation rate and for several off-court incidents involving players. "We expect our coaches to be role models, and we expect our student-athletes to be role models as well," Zimpher said after his dismissal. "We do not apologize for setting high standards." Huggins was 399-127 at Cincinnati, taking the Bearcats to fourteen straight NCAA tournament appearances, including the 1992 Final 4. He won ten regular-season Conference USA titles and was honored as the league's coach of the decade. He also coached at Akron and Walsh and has a record of 567-199 during a twenty-four-year career. |
Huggins had a heart attack in September 2002 but showed up for the team's first practice 2 weeks later and coached the entire season.
At Kansas State, he will inherit a program that has enjoyed a clean reputation while struggling to pull itself out of mediocrity since Bramlage Coliseum opened in 1988-89.
Huggins could be joined at Kansas State by 2 top recruits. O.J. Mayo, a 2-time Associated Press Mr. Basketball in Ohio, said this week he and Bill Walker, his teammate at Cincinnati North College Hill, may sign with whichever school hires Huggins.
