West Virginia’s former men’s basketball coach is entering a diversion program for his drunk driving arrest. Bob Huggins will undergo an alcohol treatment course and is on a one-year probation period.
However, the length could be knocked down to six months if he passes the program along with meeting other conditions.
The 69-year-old was taken into custody back in June after police say he was blocking traffic in Pittsburgh and registered a blood alcohol content of more than twice the legal limit.
Josh Eilert was named interim head coach for the men’s basketball team after Huggins resigned.
