West Virginia head basketball coach Bob Huggins was in a Charlotte, NC hospital after bumping his head. Huggs was talking on his cell phone as he was deboarding a plane when he tripped over a cone.Haley Gentry, public affairs manager at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, said, "Upon exiting the plane, apparently he became dizzy and required medical attention." Gentry said a report of the incident did not say Huggins fainted.
Huggins was in Charlotte to meet with an alumni group.
Though the story sounds somewhat funny now, hearing that he was in the hospital is no joke. In 2002, Huggins suffered a massive heart attack while in an airport in Pittsburgh. He had to be shocked back to life three times. Since then, his health has been a topic of discussion -- including during West Virginia's recent Sweet 16 run.
Though it doesn't seem serious, here's wishing for a speedy recovery for Huggins.
