Bob Huggins has agreed to a three-game suspension and a US$1 million salary reduction and will be required to meet with LGBTQ2S+ leaders for using a homophobic slur during a radio interview, the university announced Wednesday.
The agreement allows Huggins to keep his job as the school's basketball coach, but the blunder will leave a lasting mark on his Hall of Fame career.
"We will never truly know the damage that has been done by the words said in those 90 seconds," Gee and Baker said. "Words matter and they can leave scars that can never be seen. But words can also heal. And by taking this moment to learn more about another's perspective, speak respectfully and lead with understanding, perhaps the words `do better' will lead to meaningful change for all.
"Over the past 48 hours, I have reflected on the awful words that I shared on a radio program earlier this week," Huggins said in a separate statement Wednesday. "I deeply regret my actions, the hurt they unfairly caused others and the negative attention my words have brought to West Virginia University.
During the radio show, Huggins was asked about the transfer portal and whether he had a chance of landing a player at West Virginia from Xavier, a Jesuit school.
