Every time my phone buzzed with "Robert Yanders" flashing across the screen, I knew there were a handful of things "Rob" wanted to talk about — and every time I knew that he was going to be fiery and passionate, as he was in everything he did.
Whether it was talking about why one of "his guys" was one of the best players in the area and was being underrecruited, why he was excited to coach up a hopeful pro or what he thought about the latest Missouri State basketball game, I knew Rob was going to bring it.
