The family of Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Huggins announced on Wednesday that he is living with a "progressive cognitive condition" impacting his memory and daily life. This revelation comes as Huggins prepares for his induction into the University of Cincinnati's James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame this week.

In a heartfelt statement, Huggins' family shared, "Bob is living with a progressive cognitive condition that has begun to affect his memory, and aspects of his daily life." They emphasized their desire for privacy over recent months but felt it was time to inform the public, especially those who have supported him throughout his illustrious career.

At 73 years old, Huggins is celebrated as the all-time winningest head coach in Cincinnati basketball history, with a remarkable 399 wins during his tenure from 1989 to 2005. He later coached at Kansas State for a single season in 2006 before joining West Virginia, where he spent 16 seasons and led the team to a Final Four appearance in 2010.

Huggins' career faced challenges in 2023 when he initially resigned from his position at West Virginia after an arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. He later contested that he never formally resigned.

Throughout his four-decade coaching career, Huggins amassed a total of 934 wins, including 345 at West Virginia, solidifying his legacy in college basketball.
