CINCINNATI, Ohio -- University of Cincinnati head basketball coach Bob
Huggins is resting comfortably at Christ Hospital following his transfer
Wednesday morning from the Beaver Medical Center in suburban Pittsburgh.

Huggins is in the Christ cardiac care unit where his condition will
continue to be monitored and evaluated over the next several days.

Dr. Dean Kereiakes, who is Huggins' cardiologist, will oversee the
evaluation process.

Huggins suffered a heart attack Saturday morning while traveling in the
Pittsburgh airport. He underwent a heart catheterization and a stent
placement for management of an acute myocardial infarction on Saturday at
the Medical Center, Beaver where he had been in recovery the past three
days.

In lieu of flowers, Bob and June Huggins request that donations be made to
the Cincinnati chapter of the American Heart Association.
