Plus, he will receive sensitivity training. You can't make this stuff up.

Microphone sensitivity. He'll be taught to recognize when he's around one.

I feel bad for Wren. I really do.  But his laissez faire attitude as an AD is proving quite problematic.  There were a lot pf people telling Wren he needed to deal with forcing Huggins into retirement

Why should I give him support?  I don't wish him failure, but I also don't really think about him that much anymore.  I trust he will handle this in the manner he sees fit, but I fail to see what this

Maybe Wren is trying to go his entire career without ever firing anyone. 

I mean... this should really be everyone's goal

He's having fun now.

He never has to be the guy who decides whether to fire Huggins for on-court performance.

For sure. Huggins' made the decision for Wren with his off-court behavior. About as easy as it gets for Wren.

Its clear he intended to resign, he went through the entire process, talking to the team, the AD and sending in a letter, it was all over the media, why wait until now?  some players have already entered the portal, some have already left, its a mess even if he wants to come back.

Does he want to come back or just collect a check?

Former coach Bob Huggins says he never resigned at WVU

West Virginia University men's basketball coach Bob Huggins, weeks removed from a radio slur controversy that caused him to accept a pay cut, has resigned his position following his arrest Friday for driving under the influence.

As reported by USA Today, the resignation came Saturday, one day after Huggins was pulled over in Pittsburgh.

"Today, I have submitted a letter to President Gordon Gee and Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker informing them of my resignation and intention to retire as head men's basketball coach at West Virginia University effective immediately,"  Huggins said in a statement, as reported by WSAZ in Huntington, W.V.

"My recent actions do not represent the values of the University or the leadership expected in this role. While I have always tried to represent our University with honor, I have let all of you – and myself – down. I am solely responsible for my conduct and sincerely apologize to the University community – particularly to the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program.

"It has been the honor of my professional career to lead the men’s basketball program at my alma mater and I take great pride in our accomplishments. But I am most proud of the tremendous young men who chose to spend their formative years with us, and who have gone on to do great things with their lives.

"I was born in Morgantown, graduated from West Virginia University and had the pleasure of coaching here for seventeen seasons as an assistant or head coach. It will always be my home, and I will always be a Mountaineer.
