Attorney Rusty Webb on the Bob Huggins Resignation Dispute

Bob Huggins' startling claim that he never resigned as the men's basketball coach of West Virginia University, nearly a month after it had been widely reported that he had, is one of the more bizarre sports stories so far this year. On this episode of Crisis Communications in Sports, we speak with attorney Rusty Webb, a West Virginian who is a graduate of the university's law school, to discuss the perplexing communication claims and tactics that led to the drama that has unfolded (06:45). Hosts Jim Rocco and Cris Bruce kick off the show by analyzing the current public-facing salary battle taking place between NFL running backs and team management. Based on their statements and social media posts, one side might be causing themselves irreparable harm by overestimating their leverage (00:56).
