Huggy's back. Back again. Huggy's back. Tell a friend

In general, Xavier has always done well against Bob Huggins coached teams. I believe Huggs still has a losing record against Xavier, for his career. He has been a fun villain over the years.

It didn't start that way against Huggins. He was 5-2 against Xavier in his first 7 seasons at UC; he could just as easily have been 7-0 if not for a pair of miracle wins by Xavier at the Gardens. Fast forward to Lenny Brown's Shot and he's 3-7 against Xavier afterwards if you also count his time at Kansas State (a loss at USBank Arena) and West Virginia (2008 Sweet 16). He never played Xavier while he was coaching at Akron.

All that aside, dude is one of the best coaches of his era. His players all love him and he is about to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. After a couple hours of jeering the old man, I think it would be kind of cool to give him an ovation. Might be the last time he coaches against us.

Gross.

I am not denying he is a good coach but standing ovation? To Bob Thuggins?

I’m with you nuts. It would be nice for fans to keep it classy. He hasn’t been at UC for years, the DUI thing has run its course, and he’s one of the best to ever coach. At some point it looks a little silly to be haters.

I would buy this argument much easier for some of the great former XU coaches who some hold such ill will for around here. (Myself included).

[D-West & PO-Z]

In truth, the level Huggins took UC to significantly helped Xavier. The better they were, the better beating them was. He's not who he was so hating him now is silly. He was good fur the rivalry and for X in the long term.

Oh, he was great for the rivalry. I thought him leaving was going to severely hamper it. Mick more than made up for it though with his little man antics.

Bob Huggins is an ass clown who should be jeered, booed and generally harassed from the minute he enters Cintas until he leaves. Being a good coach doesn't make him less of an asshole.

To be clear, my quote was "an ovation" not a standing ovation...and I also included "after a couple of hours of jeering the old man".
