West Virginia’s basketball coach is never denied admission to Canton’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club, hardly a half-court heave from Walsh College, where Huggins had his first head coaching job. His annual number Monday was as good as ever and he hit on pundits, peers, pressure defense, pains in the you-know-what and … honestly I don’t know what got into him here, but I don’t care, either.

Always a harsh critic of officiating, Huggins grumbled that officials do what ever they want without regard to the rule book—that they’ve become television celebrities. “The best officials are the ones you don’t remember after the game.” He was especially critical of officials who call shooting fouls, describing them as “orgasmic” when they get to motion “and one”…. “it’s like sex to them.”
