West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins, right, speaks to the media Friday, May 2, 2008 in Morgantown, W.Va., after signing a contract to coach the Mountaineers until age 65. Athletic Director Ed Pastilong, left, made the announcement to the media late Friday afternoon.

    West Virginia University officials say basketball coach Bob Huggins has been taken to a hospital in Charlotte for precautionary reasons after tripping on an airport tarmac and hitting his head on the pavement.

    Athletic director Ed Pastilong says Huggins had a bump on his head, and never lost consciousness.

    Pastilong says Huggins and other athletic department staff flew to Charlotte on Thursday morning 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.
