"I've never had an original thought in my life." – Bob Huggins

Bob Huggins is the head coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers basketball team.  He's one of ten coaches with over 800 career victories, he's been to two Final Fours, plus you'd need fewer than five fingers to count how many times his teams have not made the NCAA tournament over the last twenty-five years. Huggins has achieved all of this while not coaching at one of the traditional powers like Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, or UCLA.

Yet, as the quote that begins this piece makes rather plain, Huggins doesn't hide from the fact that he's routinely stolen good ideas from other coaches. Why would he? Whether music, sports, or business, it's the norm to emulate. Absent idea "theft," the world would be a much less evolved place defined by lower living standards and higher mortality.
