According to the Charleston Gazette... GAZETTE-MAIL: I almost hate to bring this
up: What
about all those Bobby Huggins rumors? Any truth to them, and is he fit to take
another
college job?

MARCUM: I don't know if "he's fit to take another job" or not. That's really
none of my
business whether he is or isn't. Those kinds of things I think are very, very
disappointing.
Somewhere along the way, I just don't think those things all of a sudden happen.
I think
people plan them, they get involved in it. I feel bad for coach [Ron] Jirsa to
have to go
through something like that.

At the same time, I had to laugh when I first got the call in regards to all
those rumors
going around. I didn't know if we were in second place or third place, as far as
the jobs go.
A person told me that, I just know that this individual is interested in your
job, but he's
also interested in the Pitt job, also. You know, the thing that I find that I
really think it says
a lot of negative things about our business, and especially the sport of
basketball when
you hear about people quote, right or wrong. And I'm not going after people's
jobs. It's
not even open.

I just have more respect for the game of college basketball and the coaching
profession to
think there are people are doing those kinds of things.

(Note: Since the interview, Huggins has contacted Marcum, which Marcum
acknowledged.)
