NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Knicks have officially hired former President Barack Obama’s brother-in-law to a front-office position.
Craig Robinson was named vice president of player development Tuesday in a series of restructuring moves that followed the promotion of Steve Mills to president and the hiring of Scott Perry as general manager.
Robinson spent last season as Milwaukee’s vice president of player and organizational development after serving as head coach at Oregon State (2008-14) and Brown University (2006-08).
Robinson, 55, was a two-time Ivy League Player of the Year at Princeton, where he was teammates with Mills.
