David A. Campbell, an attorney for the 69-year-old, sent a letter to West Virginia threatening to sue them on the coach's behalf, according to ESPN. He claimed Huggins did not formally resign and still intends to work for the program for the upcoming season. Campbell insisted it was Huggins' wife, June Huggins, who illegitimately told West Virginia he would step down. "Regardless of WVU's reasons for reaching this point, WVU is faced with the following choices: (1) Reinstate Coach Huggins to his Head Basketball Coach position once the rehabilitation program is completed pursuant to the plain terms of the Employment Agreement; or (2) remain in breach of the Employment Agreement and face litigation," Campbell's letter reportedly said. "The litigation will not only involve the breach of the Employment Agreement, but also WVU's clear violation of state and federal law by terminating Coach Huggins without due process or even an interview to determine the true facts, not those reported by the media." West Virginia shot back by calling their all-time winningest coach's new claims "spurious," "meritless" and "frivolous" in a response letter sent to Campbell, according to ESPN. "The conflicting communications and correspondence from various counsel on Mr. Huggins's behalf leave the University unclear as to its next steps: continue working collaboratively with Mr. Fitzsimmons on common resignation/retirement benefits for a former University employee and as outlined in Mr. Huggins' contract; or respond to meritless demand letters and possible frivolous litigation brought forth by you," said Stephanie){kind=link}
