    Speculation about what led to West Virginia coach Bob Huggins' injuries had become so rampant the past few days that university brass apparently felt they could go no longer without addressing the issue.

    As a result, West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck told the Charleston Daily Mail on Thursday that Huggins had taken medication on an empty stomach last week before breaking seven ribs falling into the coffee table in his Las Vegas hotel room.

    "He said he kind of stood up quickly and apparently had a bit of lightheadedness and tripped - and I don't know if he tripped, per se - but he fell down and hit the edge of a table," said Luck, who has had frequent contact with Huggins since his coach was hurt one week ago in Las Vegas.

    Luck couldn't say what type of medication Huggins had taken but said he had every reason to "completely accept and believe" what Huggins reported.
