Former & Current Players React to the Firing of Larry Harrison

Thursday's surprising news shook the core of West Virginia basketball.

Thursday afternoon, West Virginia University announced that it had parted ways with men's assistant head basketball coach Larry Harrison. During his coaches show later that night, head coach Bob Huggins stated, "I wasn't involved as I'm being portrayed to be."

Harrison has spent 24 years on Huggins' staff, 16 of which were at West Virginia. The news was surprising to many, including current and former players.

Wow never did I ever think I’ll see the day that Coach Harrison leaves wvu without Huggs. It just doesn’t make sense. Like at all smh something ain’t right. 😒

Larry Harrison has done so much for me and my basketball career. I have seen first hand how his work ethic, honesty, & driven mindset has affected mountaineer basketball in a positive way. It is a true shame & disappointment that he will no longer be on staff at WVU.
