Bob Huggins has returned to work.

The West Virginia coach, who suffered seven broken ribs in a fall in his hotel room in Las Vegas last month, spent much of the day in his office in Morgantown on Tuesday.

"I'm sore," Huggins told FOXSports.com. "But I'm good. It's good to be back.”

Huggins said he was returning from watching AAU games in Las Vegas around noon and was on the phone in the middle of packing when he stood up, became light-headed and fell into the corner of a coffee table.

"I got up too quick and the medication and having an empty stomach caused me to get light-headed," Huggins said. "When I fell, I had the phone to my ear and couldn’t break my fall."

Huggins called his younger brother, Larry, who came to his hotel room and helped get him to the hospital.

Huggins, 56, spent the next few days in a Las Vegas hospital before cancelling his travel plans for the rest of the July recruiting period. Instead of flying to Kansas City, Huggins went to Florida — where he was able to rest with his wife and children.

"The good thing about getting hurt is they (the recruits) call you," Huggins said. "All I've done for the past couple weeks is rest. There's really not much doctors can do for you."

Huggins said a combination of poor eating habits on the road in July and not being hydrated enough — along with the medication and sitting in a gym for 15 hours a day — contributed to his fall.

"I'm not getting any younger," Huggins said. "But it's tough in July because we don't stop. We run from city to city and gym to gym."

Huggins is coming off his third season and a Final Four appearance as the head coach of his alma mater — where he has compiled an 80-30 record.
