Mr. Robinson is no Kevin Ollie or Geno A. Oregon State is no UConn... more like a mid major in a major conference.

Six full seasons and an under five-hundred record. Hit the road!

If the big dope had learned from his punk-ass brother-in-law he could have kept the scores and his loser record private indefinitely:

Works for the Washington press corpse; I sure it would satisfy the wretches at ESPN just the same.

If you can’t even make the Not Important Tournament once in six years, you deserve to be fired.

You know it had to be the previous coaching staff’s fault......

I’ve read because he was attending Princeton involved in sports that is one of the reasons Moochelle started out there despite lackluster grades.

I’m sure his lousy record had nothing to do with it...RACISM!

Well, at least he won’t be burdened by having a job... he can now spend more time with his family.

What’s even more amazing is that OSU hired him in the first place. He had a 30-28 record at Brown, an Ivy League school. Another AA hire.
