MANHATTAN, Kan. - Bob Huggins is going home to West Virginia.
After one season at Kansas State, Huggins resigned to become the men's basketball coach at West Virginia.
Huggins replaces John Beilein, who left the Mountaineers to take the Michigan job Tuesday.
Before arriving at Kansas State, Huggins coached for 16 seasons at Cincinnati, leading the Bearcats to 14 consecutive NCAA tournaments and one Final Four.
Huggins was out of coaching for a year before he was hired at Kansas State.
Huggins was born in Morgantown, W.Va., although he grew up in Ohio. He played his last two college seasons for the Mountaineers and holds bachelor's and master's degrees from West Virginia, where he was a graduate assistant for the 1977-78 season.
Huggins' contract requires him to pay Kansas State $100,000 for leaving early.
