I hope it is nothing more serious than a fall. Glad it isn't his heart but there can be a lot of medical reasons causing someone to fall. Hope Bob is ok.

Is drinking a medical reason?

Where was Zimpher when this happened?

Jesus. I hope he is OK but you got to wonder if it was drinking related. I hope not.

It would be disappointing if alcohol would have been related. I am glad it was not his heart or any other health condition. Even though Bob coaches for a rival, I still found myself rooting for him in the tourney last year.
Go Bearcats!

Bob's last three off seasons all have had an incident in them.

First he "fell" off a plane. Last season he had two black eyes from "running into a door". Now he has broken ribs from "falling" in a hotel room.

I guess it's possible that it could be from something else, but I don't think so.

It could definitely be from something else but you can't rule out alcohol with his history. I just hope that whatever it is isn't too serious and if it is alcohol that he can work through those demons.

West Virginia coach Bob Huggins suffered four fractured ribs Friday after falling accidentally in his hotel room in Las Vegas.

Multiple sources said Huggins would spend Saturday night at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center for observation even though a statement from West Virginia AD Oliver Luck issued at 10 a.m. said Huggins would be released Saturday.

“I spoke with Associate Head Coach Larry Harrison this [Saturday] morning who was with coach Huggins recruiting in Las Vegas,” Luck said. “Coach Huggins did fall in his hotel room Friday and broke four ribs. He was taken to a Las Vegas hospital and was held overnight for observation. He is expected to be released later today, and we expect him to make a complete recovery.”

Huggins, 56, reportedly fell accidentally on a coffee table, but did not suffer a heart attack. Huggins did suffer a massive heart attack in September 2002.

I will speculate that he was drunk, hitting on some mobster type's wife, and the guy had his boys take a 2 by 4 or a baseball bat to his ribs.

Well, ralph, you are wrong on the mobster part. He fell in his hotel room and landed on a coffee table.

Yea, that is the official story but is it the correct story? Last summer he got the two black eyes when he "fell" in to a door in his bathroom. He sure falls a lot. I like my speculation better. It is very hard to break ribs falling is all I know. Was the "coffee table" made by Louisville Slugger?

RALPH'S BACK!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!!!!

Ya and John Reik will be a superstar. Lance will lead UC to the promise land. Teague will commit... Your right tho ralphy, Bob has alot of questionable injuries. In the same regards Mick makes alot of questionable statements as to why UC loses so much..

On a more serious note, I have no doubt this has to do with alcohol. Or he is just really freaking clumsy.

 

[Thegreatone]

Why the comments towards Ralph?? No personal attacks on Ralphy or face Thegreatone's wrath.

 

[westsidecat]

It's now up 7 broken ribs.

My speculation is each side of his rib cage has the words "Louisville Slugger" imprinted in them.

So you think someone roughed up Bobby in his hotel room?

It was Jack or perhaps Jim.

How could an intelligent person think otherwise? How can the same person run into doors and coffee tables with regularity? How can a coffee table break 7 ribs? Inquiring minds want to know.
