Hall of Fame CBB coach Bob Huggins dealing with progressive cognitive condition

College basketball legend Bob Huggins, 73, is dealing with a progressive cognitive condition "that has begun to affect his memory and aspects of his daily life," according to his family in a joint statement released by the University of Cincinnati. 

This statement comes ahead of a weekend in which Huggins will be inducted into the University of Cincinnati Athletics Hall of Fame. 

Per Justin Williams of The Athletic, Huggins will take part in the induction ceremonies on Cincinnati's campus on Friday night, but he will not be taking interviews.

“While the family has chosen to keep this matter private over the past several months, they believe this is an appropriate time to share the news with the many people who have supported Bob throughout his remarkable career, particularly as he prepares to be honored with induction into the University of Cincinnati’s James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame,” the family said in the statement.
