He used the British slang word for cigarette. Who on this side of the pond even has that word in their vocabulary, never mind on the tip of the tongue these days?
He said he will accept any punishment, which locks him in if the punishment is termination wuthout pay and with no severance or buyout of his contract.

Sounds like an anti-Catholic offense also

Sounds like an anti-Catholic offense also If he gets let go, it will be because of the anti-gay aspect not the anti-Catholic aspect. But as far as public pressure on the university, it will now come from both the tradition liberal MSM side of things as well as the Catholic/Christian contingent. He may be in trouble.

If Don Rickles were born 50 years later he'd be a truck driver.

semi off topic, but did that story about Xavier fans throwing items on the court really happen?

What was he talking about with regard to “rubber penises thrown on the court” and by whom and where?

Just read that Huggins said this slur twice. Wonder if he will offer two apologies ?

What was he talking about with regard to “rubber penises thrown on the court” and by whom and where? From the audio, it sounds like it was done by Xavier fans - and I would assume at Xavier. It sounds so over the top, I wonder if it really happened. If it did, there must be an interesting backstory that prompted a number of people to bring that particular item to a game. Over the years I have attended a bunch of basketball games and it never occurred to me to head over the to porn section of Walmart and buy one to bring to a game

Huggy Bear needs to go into a permanent hibernation, in a basketball sense. Not like this was a hot mic situation.....plus he says it twice! Adios......

Unlike Holy Cross, throwing sex toys onto the court at games is apparently done at several other Catholic schools. It has happened at Xavier and more locally at Providence College.

Three years ago Thomas Brennaman, the play by play guy for the Reds, made a similar slur on air about San Francisco. He was fired. Huggins brought him to WVU to address his team as a model of accountability. Huggins is a cretin, but I'm not sure he's going to get fired.

At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I gotta ask - Why?

I guess it is all just a part of being in the ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.

I would love to sit in on one of those training sessions All BS Ala Bill Self, he will probably be suspended for some exhibitions and maybe 1-2 cupcake games. If they have not been scheduled yet, they will be.

The only thing missing may be the mechanismby which he recoups the $1MM fine from the school: booster, incentive, consulting fee ?
