Bob Huggins Family Discloses Progressive Cognitive Condition Ahead of Hall of Fame Ceremony

Bob Huggins, the former University of Cincinnati basketball coach, is living with a progressive cognitive condition that has begun affecting his memory and daily life, his family announced. The family said it had kept the news private for several months and chose to share it as Huggins prepares to be inducted into Cincinnati’s James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame. He plans to return to campus for the ceremony and spend time with former players and friends, but will not discuss his health with the media. His family and Cincinnati Athletics praised his coaching legacy and the lasting relationships he built with players, and the family requested privacy as it supports him.
