MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Bob Huggins always wanted to be a basketball player. Coaching wasnt on his early list of career options.Huggins will go after coaching win No. 800 on Saturday when No. 12 West Virginia (8-1) takes on Missouri-Kansas City (7-5), the same team Kansas Bill Self notched his 600th career win against earlier this month.Huggins said he doesnt think about such things unless someone brings it up.I dont know if its sunk in, he said. I really dont think about the past. I try to live in the present.The 800-win club will have a few new members this season.Huggins will be the 10th coach of a mens team with a minimum of 10 years in Division I to get there. Former Villanova coach Rollie Massimino, 82, became the ninth on Wednesday night at NAIA Keiser. North Carolinas Roy Williams is expected to reach the feat this season.Growing up in Morgantown, Huggins cherishes the memory of sitting in his grandfathers lap listening to West Virginia games on the radio. All he wanted to do was play basketball.Coaching wasnt high on the list even though his father, Charlie, molded three state high school champion teams in Ohio.I think, to a large degree, my dad said `you dont want to do that, Huggins said. I never have listened much to my dad, obviously.Charlie Huggins said coaching comes with a caveat.We tried to explain to him that it would be a lot of work and not much money, the elder Huggins said.Nonetheless, his sons 800th will be a proud moment.Its been a long haul, Charlie Huggins said. Its amazing. Its really hard to believe.Bob Huggins playing aspirations ended after he was cut by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1977. West Virginia coach Joedy Gardner offered him a graduate assistant position, enabling him to finish his masters degree in health administration.I figure I could get my masters degree paid for. But I didnt know what I was going to do, Huggins said.At one time or another he mulled becoming a doctor or an attorney. But basketball stuck.He spent two years as an assistant under Eldon Miller at Ohio State, then became a head coach at age 27 at Walsh College in 1980.Most of his wins came during 16 seasons at Cincinnati before being fired in 2005 in a power struggle with the schools president. He spent one season at Kansas State and took his dream job at West Virginia in 2007.His sideline rants havent slowed down. Players and referees still get a tongue lashing in front of thousands of fans.His home-state fans will especially remember him for coming to the aide of star player DaSean Butler in the 2010 Final Four in Indianapolis. Facing Duke in the semifinals, Butler fell to the floor with a serious knee injury. Huggins cradled Butlers head, stroked his face and offered some calming words as trainers worked on him.Huggins, 63, has endured just three losing seasons, two of which occurred in his first four seasons of coaching. His wife was asked recently if she thought he could last 10 more years.She said, `I dont know about him, but I cant, Huggins recalled.Coaching pal John Calipari at Kentucky tried to put Huggins impending feat into perspective.It means two things, Calipari said in a short video sent to Huggins. One, youre getting old. And the second thing, if you had played me more, youd had got there quicker! Congrats man.
