From the article:
>“He’s a great coach,” Tshiebwe said of Huggins. “And I know I always work harder, and I’m always trying to get better. Just because things don’t go right doesn’t mean you quit. . . . I can’t say anything about Bob Huggins, who is a good coach, who coached me and did everything for me and tried to help me
For context, Huggins gave an interview last week saying:
>"We lost an alleged McDonald’s All-American because he didn’t like the fact that we were making him do things that were hard, so we’re fine.
>
>“When I was growing up in the United States of America, you had to work for what you got. That’s kind of gone now. That’s the way it used to be and that’s the way it’s going to be as long as I am head ball coach here.”
Huggins has come a long way in order to get where he’s at today. The West Virginia native was working as a graduate assistant for Joedy Gardner in 1978, while his wife, June, was working concessions at the WVU Coliseum. That was their income. Now, Huggins is one of the all-time great coaches in college basketball history.
The fourth-winningest coach is just like, ‘eh, who cares?’ when you ask him about 900 wins or a statue outside of the Coliseum.
“They probably should do a statue of me but it ought to be about three inches tall,” Huggins said. “Then, it wouldn’t get in Jerry [West] and Rod’s [Hundley] way.”
There’s always has been a narrative created about Huggins, by the national media, that he’s a bad guy. Casual college basketball viewers think of Huggins as, ‘the old man with the stool that yells at his players and officials a lot.’ The final straw that resulted in me writing this was the Oscar Tshiebwe feature story written by Kyle Tucker of The Athletic. In Tucker’s story, he interviews Tshiebwe about his journey to Kentucky, which would inevitably include his departure from West Virginia. Fair enough.
I have recently finished watching The Shield, and I can't help feeling that Andre 3000's character was extremely underdeveloped, and almost felt a bit randomly placed in to the story. It seems to strange to introduce a story line like his so late in the show. Am I missing something?
