Huggins is bad with PR!

[Jon Macomber]

I really admire Bob Huggins and his ability to do things his way - stick to his beliefs and not be distracted by the constant media attention or what other people think.

BUT, I am frustrated at his complete lack of PR skills - he is a terrible interview, he doesn't do the media saavy things, and he doesn't play "the game".

The development of the media's control over the game is a HUGE change from previous years.  A lot of that is constant and instant news (ex. ESPN), the internet, and the money involved.  I have the feeling that Huggins is an old school guy who spends as much time on a computer in a year than we do in a week.  For better or worse, he doesn't have the "Pitino charm".  That could of saved a lot of trouble in terms of grad rate, off court stuff, etc.  But I will note that he is slowly being vindicated by the recent exposure over the inefficient grad rate method - Time did indeed tell.
