Per Twitter, sound like Coach Robinson is headed to Iowa State. Best of luck to him. A great guy. He will be missed.

I wonder if Porter will promote Bryan Mullins or hire a more experienced assistant.

Is Coach Robinson going to be an Assistant or did he get the Head Job? Wonder if we counter offered? wonder if Coach just as problems keeping assistants?

Robinson is going to be an assistant coach at Iowa State. He served a previous stint in Ames as an assistant from 2008-2010.

There has been a large turnover in assistant coaches under Moser, but I don't think Moser is at fault here.

As for a replacement, I wouldn't mind seeing Mullins being promoted from Director of Basketball Operations, although that would leave the staff without an assistant to mentor the bigs.

swella, I'm surprised you didn't propose Craig Robinson.

If we want to keep assistants longer, we need to pay more. Otherwise it's just a stepping stone position.

Well. my take is this--We are fast becoming competitive on the court and we now have an upgraded schedule.

We must . if need be upgrade our Hoops budget to compete as well--Now then, it will be difficult to match the Stae U's moneywise but we must try as do other Private schools. Another thing --Other schools just might view PM as a good HEAD Coach who is also proficient in developing his assistants. He will find someone capable--BUT we must pay him well.

It will always be a stepping stone position. Even when we're paying a lot and very successful, our assistants will still be hired away as head coaches. WSU is having a lot of its assistants poached for head coaching jobs-- Chris Jans last year at Bowling Green and Steve Forbes this year at East Tennessee. But pay is probably a key factor when assistants are leaving in the middle of growing success to be assistants at other schools.

Yeah, that's more what I meant. To me, having sought after assistants is a sign of a healthy program, particularly if they are taking head coaching jobs.

Good for him! The guy really cares about the players and he'll be hard to replace. He was working with the big guys at Halas last Saturday and when I talked to him about next season I thought he seemed a little bit disengaged. I guess maybe he was.
