...and was checking his cell phone messages when he tripped over a cone on the tarmac and hit his head on the pavement.

Can't wait to see the farks of that...

I found it humorous that they mentioned his heart problems and that it was not thought to be related, yet did not mention his other problem which also causes people to lose their balance and fall down (also makes it tough to type legibly sometimes )

West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was hospitalized with four broken ribs Friday after an accidental fall at a hotel in Las Vegas during a recruiting trip. West Virginia athletics director Oliver Luck confirmed in a statement that Huggins would be fine after being held overnight for observation. Luck said Huggins was with associate head coach Larry Harrison.
"He is expected to be released later today, and we expect him to make a complete recovery," Luck said Saturday.

P.S. Hmmmm...another fall, I wonder if it was related to drinking.

And all they found at the scene was a banana peel and a handkerchief monogrammed "T.W."

Huggy should have known after all these years of You shouldn't do it on an empty stomach.

West Virginia University says basketball coach Bob Huggins' rib-breaking fall occurred because medication taken on an empty stomach left him lightheaded.

President James Clements and Athletic Director Oliver Luck told the Charleston Daily Mail that Huggins stood too quickly, tripped and fell into a table in his Las Vegas hotel room last week.

WVU spokeswoman Becky Lofstead on Friday confirmed the report. She wouldn't say what the medication was.

Huggins broke seven ribs and was hospitalized for several days.

Last summer, Huggins got two black eyes when he walked into a door in the middle of the night.

In 2008, he was checking phone messages on an airport tarmac when he tripped on a cone, fell and hit his head

Sounds like someone forgot to close the baby gate.

I have to believe that one of these days Bob is going to be done in by his drinking. There is just too much Rebel Yell:) down there for him to drink and not do something really stupid.

Bob drunk again?

Thanks to Gerd of the Ozone for this find

A number of current and former college basketball coaches?Billy Donovan, Roy Williams, Bob Knight, Jamie Dixon, among others?gave presentations at a Nike clinic over the weekend at Robert Morris University in suburban Pittsburgh. But according to an eyewitness, West Virginia's Bob Huggins is the only one reported to have been "slirring [sic] his speech, swaying, talking in circles and dropping f bombs" when it was his turn.

Huggins's talk was called "Our Man to Man Offensive Concepts," and it was scheduled to take place at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. A source in Pittsburgh just told me eight different people who were there have confirmed to him Huggins was wasted. And here's a sampling of Twitter responses from some of those who were present for it:
