University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach Bob Huggins, speaking at a recent luncheon in Massillon, debunked the “genius” reputation of Lakers coach Phil Jackson.

        Said Huggins: “Phil Jackson may be a pretty good coach, I don't know. It's hard for me to tell. The guy never gets up. I'm surprised he gets up at timeouts. He just sits there with his legs crossed.

        “He used to go off into the woods and eat berries and stuff like that. And then he just happens to get a job with Kobe Bryant and Shaq.

        “I know this, when I've had really good players, at the end of the game you usually throw them the ball. I don't know how smart you have to be to do that.”
