Bob Huggins, head basketball coach at West Virginia, resigned today after being charged with DUI last night in Pittsburgh. According to police reports, Huggie Bear told the cops that he had been at a basketball camp in Ohio, but had no idea what city he was in.

He was convicted of DUI back in 2004 when he was coaching Cincinnati. And he was just suspended for 3 games because of a uttering an anti-gay slur during an interview earlier this year.
