I read somewhere that Robinson was recommended to Mosley by Hodge. (hahaha, it was probably here!). Maybe Mosley has his finger on the college basketball coaching scene better than we think, but I suspect he got input from Hodge and others. Just seems unlikely (to me anyway) that he had his eye on Robinson just waiting to swoop in before anyone else did, but who knows. It didn't really feel like a national search (did it?), but if he comes highly recommended by others in the business and trusted coaches then that carries a lot of weight.
Like others here, I did not know who Coach Robinson was or had heard about him before he was announced as our new head coach. After watching his YouTube interview and getting to know a bit more about him and what he was able to do at Cleveland St, I think he can continue the momentum we have going here. Seems like a good guy that's been around and successful. Our season isn't even over yet and I'm already looking forward to next year and seeing what Robinson is able to do in the off-season. Welcome Coach Robinson and Go Mean Green!
You gotta meet people here where they are. The administration needs to have UNT music and arts have performances and exhibits at games AND market SOLELY about the music and arts. Never mention sports at all.
With Coach Robinson's Chicago recruiting ties, I'm willing to bet he knows about Grant Newell, and he SURELY knows his former HS coach at Whitney Young, Tyrone Slaughter.
Maybe he can convince Newell to stay? That would be a great get. Hopefully Grant has enjoyed his time in Denton & would want to stay? And if Grant stays, maybe Coach Robinson could pull his former teammate out of the portal:
