One week after longtime head coach Bob Huggins stepped down, West Virginia tapped Josh Eilert as the interim basketball coach, athletic director Wren Baker announced on Saturday. Huggins, who abruptly resigned hours after a drunk driving arrest, was named the Mountaineers head coach in 2007. “Josh Eilert is the right person to lead our men’s basketball program next season,” Baker said. “I would also like to thank Coach Huggins for retaining me on his staff at K-State in 2006 and for bringing me to West Virginia in 2007. He previously served as an assistant coach at West Virginia in the late 1970s.
