Bob Huggins and West Virginia have reportedly come to an understanding regarding the head coaches’ future.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the 2 parties have agreed on a path for Huggins to return to the sideline in Morgantown next season. Per the report, Huggins will serve a suspension, take a $1 million salary reduction and go through sensitivity training.

The news comes a couple days after Huggins used a homophobic slur in a radio interview.

Those details have not yet been announced by the university. It’s also unclear how long Huggins’ suspension would last. Huggins’ salary would be reduced from $4.2 million to $3.2 million, per ESPN’s report.

Huggins apologized for his comments on Monday evening. Here is the statement he released through the program:

“Earlier today on a Cincinnati radio program, I was asked about the rivalry between my former employer, the University of Cincinnati, and its crosstown rival, Xavier University. During the conversation, I used a completely insensitive and abhorrent phrase that there is simply no excuse for – and I won’t try to make one here. I deeply apologize to the individuals I have offended, as well as to the Xavier University community, the University of Cincinnati community, and West Virginia University. As I have shared with my players over my 40 years of coaching, there are consequences for our words and actions, and I will fully accept any coming my way. I am ashamed and embarrassed and heartbroken for those I have hurt. I must do better, and I will.”

Huggins has been West Virginia’s head coach since 2007. He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022.
