MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University officials say basketball
coach Bob Huggins has been taken to a hospital in Charlotte, N.C., for
precautionary reasons after tripping on an airport tarmac and hitting his head
on the pavement.
Athletic director Ed Pastilong says Huggins had a bump on his head, and
never lost consciousness.
Pastilong says Huggins and other athletic department staff flew to Charlotte
on Thursday morning for a Mountaineer Athletic Club event. After Huggins got
off the plane, he was checking his cell phone messages when he tripped over a
cone on the tarmac and hit his head.
