Cincinnati: Huggins Says Goodbye, Works on Buyout



Huggins Says Goodbye, Works on Buyout: Former Cincinnati head coach Bob Huggins appeared at a rally sponsored by a local radio station to say a tearful goodbye to his fans. Huggins, ousted by University president Nancy Zimpher earlier this week, thanked supporters for 16 wonderful years, and praised his former teams for representing the university and the city of Cincinnati. Huggins’ buyout will be settled next week, including the final sum owed Huggins and the terms of the three-month transition period to the new coaching staff and the school’s introduction into the Big East Conference. The school is expected to announce on Friday that Huggins’ top assistant, Andy Kennedy, will be the interim coach. [8/25/05]
