Embattled West Virginia head basketball coach Bob Huggins has stepped down just hours after he was arrested for alleged drunken driving.

The arrest is the latest incident the long time West Virginia coach has been involved in over the past several months. Just last month, Huggins was suspended for three games after he used a homophobic slur during a radio interview. He sparked further controversy when he shared his thoughts on Catholicism during the same interview.

The university confirmed Huggins' departure late Saturday night.

The 69-year-old Huggins currently sits in third place on the all-time Division I coaches winning list. His 935 career victories only trail legendary Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and longtime Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. Krzyzewski retired with 1,202 wins, while Boeheim stepped away from coaching with 998 victories to his credit.

However, Huggins never won a national title. He did lead Cincinnati to the Final Four in 1992 and West Virginia in 2010.
