"When they play that song, 'One Shining Moment,' on national championship night, I want to see Huggs on the ladder cutting down that last strand of net. He's a basketball guy that has done so much for the game of basketball and so much for coaches of basketball and so much for all players he's coached.
"Huggs has put in all the time and effort, and because of the love and passion he has for the game, I believe he deserves a national championship before he goes out. And that's what the heck I'm working for. That's all I'm thinking about right now."
Great read!
illy Hahn admittedly is very happy serving as a vastly experienced assistant coach in the West Virginia University men's basketball program headed by longtime friend Bob Huggins.
He's perfectly content, despite the fact that his 31-year coaching resume includes two three-year stretches as a head coach at Ohio University (1986-89) and LaSalle (2001-04).
While he enjoyed those stints, he said last week that it would have to be "something really good or really special" were he to consider a head coaching position again.
Hahn, who's 54, said he came to WVU a year ago because "I like Huggs, whom I have known for a long time, and I want to see him win a national championship. I helped Gary Williams win the national championship at Maryland."
He leaves no doubt that he firmly believes Huggins is capable of leading West Virginia to the NCAA title.
"Huggs has been to the Final Four and twice to the Elite Eight," Hahn reminded. "He's been to postseason 23 of his 26 years as a head coach.
