Bristly West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins showed his softer more compassionate side on Saturday night at the NCAA Men’s Final Four when his star player Da’Sean Butler injured his knee.

Butler flopped around on the floor in pain and disappointment until Huggins came onto the court, straddled him while cradling  his head and consoled Butler.  It was the most touching moment of the tournament, not just this year, but perhaps of all-time.

Huggins’ players often enjoy playing for Huggins, and the coach truly lived up to his ‘Huggy Bear’ nickname on Saturday night.

West Virgina lost the game to Duke, but Butler’s injury seems to be less severe than most first imagined.
