MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia basketball coach Bob
Huggins' new contract stipulates he can be fired for substance
abuse or habitual intoxication affecting his job performance.
WVU on Tuesday released details of the contract Huggins signed
Friday.
In 2005, Cincinnati president Nancy Zimpher refused to extend
Huggins' contract following his conviction for drunken driving a
year earlier. Huggins took a year off, coached at Kansas State for
one season and left for West Virginia, his alma mater, in April
2007.
At WVU, Huggins will earn about $1.5 million per year over the
next 10-plus years. That includes a base salary of $250,000; $1.25
million in supplemental compensation that increases a minimum of
$100,000 per year; an annual retention bonus of $100,000 starting
next May 1, plus incentives.
