Bob Huggins, a Hall of Fame basketball coach, resigned as head coach of West Virginia University’s men’s basketball team in June 2023 following a DUI arrest.
However, he later disputed the resignation, stating he never formally submitted one and sought reinstatement.
The university declined, leading to legal disputes that remain unresolved.
In the aftermath, West Virginia appointed Darren DeVries as head coach. The team faced challenges, including DeVries’ season-ending injury, yet achieved significant victories, such as wins against Gonzaga and Kansas. Despite these efforts, they were unexpectedly excluded from the NCAA tournament, sparking debates about the selection process.
