New West Virginia coach hits head on pavement, taken to hospital

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3387152&campaign=rss&source=NCAAHeadlines

Bob Huggins, who recently signed an 11-year contract to coach for West Virginia basketball, was taken to the hospital after tripping on an airport tarmac and hitting his head on the pavement on Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Huggins was checking his cell phone messages when he tripped over a cone on the tarmac and tumbled. Yet another lesson to people more in tune with their cell phones than the world around them.
