Author: THE BOB HUGGINS POLITICAL MACHINE
Subject: Coincidence?

Bob Huggins was out at his golf outing in the same week that Ted Froncek was quoted in this article (http://www.cincypost.com/2002/aug/22/little082202.html) about Donald Little's chances of being a Bearcat.

Bob Huggins, at his recent golf outing, publicly stated that as long as he was the coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats, Donald Little would never again play for the team. I guess that ends any speculation that might have been left. This was not Bob's stance over the course of the summer, when Donald Little was working out at the Shoe and helping with Bob Huggins basketball camp. He was even showing new recruits around...get a load of that. What a great salesman for the University, a soon to be convicted felon.

On June 16, this is what Mike OfCoursey of The Sporting News had this to say about Donald's chances "It's possible you haven't seen the last of Cincinnati C Donald Little. He was dismissed from the program after being charged with assault, but word is the case against him is weakening as a July 1 hearing approaches. He could return to the Bearcats if cleared. . . .

Mike OfCoursey used to be the beat writer for the UC Bearcats for the Enquirer. He knows Bob Huggins and is a friend of Bob Huggins. Mike gets his information directly from the source. It isn't like he is a court reporter. He doesn't have contacts at the Hamilton County justice center, he has contacts at UC. For Mike to report that news in The Sporting News, he had to be getting his info from Bob Huggins and the coaching staff.

Lets face it, Bob Huggins was only sure that Donald Little would never be a Bearcat once he found out from Ted Froncek that Donald had no chance of pleading it out and making the serious charges go away. Then, and only then, did mighty fat Bob state unequivocally that Donald Little would never return. I like the way he makes a stand for his so called "Integrity" after the dust has already cleared. You didn't hear him say that after Mike OfCoursey's June 16th article. Why is that?

The worst part may be that of Little Attourney Ted Froncek. When I first read his statments to the press, I wondered what was was thinking. Some excerpts:

"Ted Froncek, Little's attorney, said Thursday that the chances were remote that Little would ever be a Bearcat again." "The official position from the university is, "You're off the team,' " Froncek said. "Donald doesn't have to play basketball because he's graduated and has a degree (but) he is thinking very hard about European basketball. There's some money in that.''

Froncek was not the original attorney on the case. He became Little's attorney once it appeared that they could get Little back. He is the front man of the UC legal defense team, and he has tried other cases for UC players. He knows about Little's chances for being a Bearcat again because he stays in close contact with the program. He isn't paid by Little, but I suspect he isn't defending all these UC basketball players out of the goodness of his heart either. It would be interesting to see what other pro bono cases he takes, and where his seats are at the Shoemaker Center. Most attorneys wouldn't make their first public comment in a case like this on the subject of UC Basketball. His client has put in a plea of not guilty, and his job is to defend his client. Apparently, he spends a lot of his time staying in touch with the program.

"Potentially, (Little) could be playing for the Ohio Department of Corrections basketball team next year,'' Froncek said."

I never understood this statment. If anything, it hurts Donald Little. Little has claimed to be innocent. Though guilty as hell, what lawyer in his right mind talks to the media like this? If Little does not plea, this case goes to trial. If they select a jury, how many perspective candidates just read his lawyer joking about him playing in the correctional league. If he was Little's paid attourney, he would be fired. Shouldn't he instead be commenting on how his client maintains his innocence? But he is the UC lawman, not the Little lawman. Once it became evident that the State of Ohio wasn't playing along, Donald Little became expendable. Froncek and Huggins could give a fuck about Little now, because Little can do nothing for him.

That means that Donald will have to find a new way to make the payments on his new ride, and his new pad in Tri-County. I never really realized how much a guy could make by working the Huggins basketball camp and playing in the summer league. It doesn't matter anymore where Donald got his money, because that money will be going away. Much like Donald Little himself.

The same thing is true for Justin Hodge. Everything that was promised him will now go away. The people that were willing to "help" him will care no more.

I don't care about Little being betrayed by his UC frontman, because Little is a violent criminal who is a threat to society. I am just amused at how fast they dropped the kid when they realized the no win situation. It makes me laugh to hear Huggins talk about Little never coming back as if it was always the case. Had Froncek forged an acceptable deal on the 23rd, Little would be back today.

BOB HUGGINS HAS NO INTEGRITY

[> What pisses you off is the fact that Xavier always, that's ALWAYS comes in second in Cincinnati. You just can't stand being second fiddle to the red and black. You get your little X panties all in a bunch and spew venom; you hold your breath until you turn ugzavier blue and what does it get you? Another NIT appearance and another year in a crap league. -- Romaine Iceberg, 08:09:03 09/02/02 Mon

[> This has nothing to do with UC vs. XU. It has nothing to do with college basketball. It has everything to do with a slimeball and how he treats people. This is about right and wrong and Huggins is wrong. He has no integrity and is a piece of shit. UC fans are blind to that. He is like Hitler in 1920's Germany. Heil Huggins! -- UC idiots are blind, 11:03:59 09/03/02 Tue

[> What is really interesting about this story is that the Xavier women's tennis team was defeated in the A-10 championship on April 21st. I also love the WNBA, but I don't have cable or friends. -- X-Bland '01, 18:16:38 09/03/02 Tue
