Drunken Catnap Leads to Cincinnati Coach’s Resignation: The mess at Cincinnati continues to worsen. Assistant coach Keith LeGree resigned after police arrested him Saturday for drunk driving, his second such arrest this year. LeGree was first arrested after police found LeGree asleep in his car at a red light with his foot on the brake, but further tests revealed LeGree had a sleeping disorder, resulting in the charges being dropped. Saturday’s test revealed LeGree’s blood alcohol content was .14, easily above Kentucky’s .08 legal limit. LeGree’s resignation leaves another hole in interim coach Adam Kennedy’s roster. Ominous of rough times ahead, the Bearcats lost to Dayton at home last night for the first time in more than 30 years.
Cincinnati dumped coach Bob Huggins in late August after school president Nancy Zimpher issued an ultimatum stating that he could resign or be fired. Zimpher had tired of Huggins’ troubled — yet successful — program. Huggins had been arrested for drunk driving in 2004 while on the recruiting trail. His program had been under the NCAA’s watch several times for behavioral and academic issues. [11/30/05]
