As someone whose opinion on Huggins varied wildly over the years, very much looking forward to watching this

Not sure where it's gonna be airing/streaming, but the trailer is absolutely awesome.

My favorite Huggy Bear moment was when he got his 2nd T in a game, headed into the tunnel, then came back out and started shouting, fuming, and letting the crowd and refs know he was really, really pissed. Then he went back into the tunnel and did not come out again. If he had, it would have been exciting to see the cops trying to cuff him.

Wouldn't have been the first time.

My first thought was Bob Huggins doctor, and all sorts of jokes sprung to mind.

If I remember correctly, Huggy Bear is a big advocate of recycling, and that it why he had all the empties in his car.

Eh. Redemption story begins...

I only watch films about coaches that are produced by chicos.

Crean is the only coach Chicos ever produced.

If he's honest, he has a shrink listed on his health insurance card as his Primary Care Physician.

I mean, that's been in process for years.  He's a pretty complicated character, not even speaking to his basketball accumen.

I think he's far less of an pretty boy than we all thought him to be in his Cincy heydey in the mid 90s, but he's also been a longtime (maybe still is, not sure) raging problematic alcoholic.  I have zero sympathy for DUI/drunk driving, much less repeated offenses.  But Ive also seen first hand how brutal and insidious alcoholism can be.

He was/is a far more friendly/kind/generous person off the court than you'd think from the aforementioned reputation/actions, but the Xavier comments and slurs were indefensible and cheapen the mentioned positives.

I hated him as a kid and teen when he was at Cincy.  Had an unexpected and shockingly great run-in interaction with him in Morgantown early in his WVU (not shockingly at a bar mid-afternoon). Then I further gained some different perspective on him from my friend's brother who worked in the athletics department at WVU and raved about how Huggins had time for everyone, was loved by his players and well liked by staffers, etc...

You don't have to endorse or excuse anything he's done to acknowledge what an entertaining and big figure he was in CBB the last 30+ years.

"Huggy Bear" is mentioned in the docs, but I doubt it's Huggins.

Wouldn't have been the first time.

Or last.

Complicated dude. I hated him for awhile, and like Wags said the DUI stuff and the slurs are truly unacceptable and degenerate behavior. But I did start seeing him in a different light after the Da'Sean Butler injury
