MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia University officials say basketball coach Bob Huggins has been released from a hospital in Charlotte, N.C., after tripping on an airport tarmac and hitting his head on the pavement.

Athletic director Ed Pastilong says Huggins had a bump on his head, and never lost consciousness.

Pastilong says Huggins and other athletic department staff flew to Charlotte on Thursday morning for a Mountaineer Athletic Club event. After Huggins got off the plane, he was checking his cell phone messages when he tripped over a cone on the tarmac and hit his head.

Huggins never lost consciousness and was discharged from the hospital after observation and tests indicated he was not seriously hurt.
