Huggins out as Cincinnati coach

CINCINNATI (AP) Bob Huggins has stepped down under pressure as Cincinnati&#39;s basketball coach.<br> <br> The moves comes a day after the 51-year-old coach was given an ultimatum of resigning or be fired. Huggins&#39; attorney, Richard Katz, says a tentative agreement has been reached for him to leave the job. Details are still being worked out on Huggins&#39; compensation.<br> <br> The ouster of Huggins is a result of university president Nancy Zimpher&#39;s desire to change the program&#39;s image. She wants to see players with better grades recruited and coaches to serve as better role models. Huggins was convicted of drunken driving last year.<br> <br> During Huggins&#39; 16-year tenure, the Bearcats reached the Final Four and were ranked number-one nationally for the first time in 34 years.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
