Huggins leaving Kansas State for West Virginia

Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Bob Huggins is going home to West Virginia.

After one season at Kansas State, Huggins is leaving to become the men's basketball coach at West Virginia, K-State athletic director Tim Weiser said today.

Huggins replaces John Beilein, who left to take the Michigan job Tuesday.

Huggins was born in Morgantown, W.Va., although he grew up in Ohio. He played his last two college seasons for the Mountaineers and holds bachelor's and master's degrees from West Virginia, where he was a graduate assistant for the 1977-78 season.
