Bob Huggins, the iconic coach who steered West Virginia University’s basketball program for more than a decade, has placed his longtime Morgantown residence on the market for $2.195 million.
Roots of a Mountaineer
Growing up in the hills of West Virginia, Huggins listened to Mountaineer games on the radio, a fascination that blossomed into a lifelong devotion to the school’s basketball tradition.
From his early days as an assistant to his ascent to head coach in 2007, Huggins compiled a record that includes a Final Four appearance — the first since the era of Jerry West — and a Big East championship in 2010, moments that still echo through the state’s sports lore.
Even after stepping down in 2023, the coach remains a fixture at community events, most notably the annual Fish Fry, where he helps raise funds for cancer research, underscoring his ongoing commitment to the people of West Virginia.
A Legacy Unrecognized?
Despite his indelible impact, the university has yet to formally honor Huggins with a dedicated tribute, a fact that many fans and alumni find puzzling given his contributions on and off the court.
The sale of his spacious five‑bedroom, seven‑bath home reflects a personal transition, yet it also signals the end of an era for a figure who has become synonymous with Mountaineer basketball.
Prospective buyers will find a property that blends modern comforts with the charm of a home that has witnessed decades of triumphs, set against the backdrop of Morgantown’s vibrant community.
As the listing goes live, the story of Bob Huggins’ home joins the broader narrative of a coach whose legacy continues to shape the identity of West Virginia basketball.
