Bob Huggins had a bad trip when he flew to North Carolina.
West Virginia University officials said Huggins, the former Kansas State basketball coach who now leads the Mountaineers, was taken to a hospital in Charlotte for precautionary reasons after tripping on an airport tarmac Thursday and hitting his head on the pavement.
Athletic director Ed Pastilong said Huggins had a bump on his head and never lost consciousness.
Pastilong said Huggins and other athletic department staff flew to Charlotte for a Mountaineer Athletic Club event. After Huggins got off the plane, he was checking his cell phone messages when he tripped over a cone on the tarmac and hit his head.
