UNC Basketball: The man, the assistant behind Roy Williams

Steve Arnette Robinson is considered one of top assistants in college basketball. “Coach Rob”, as he’s known by his players, has been an assistant coach at UNC since 2003. Many people have no idea who “the guy that sits next to Roy Williams” is, so we’d like to highlight some of the things that make him so special.

Robinson started off his career as an assistant coach at Radford for four years before going to Cornell for three seasons. He joined Williams’ Kansas staff before the start of the 1988 season, and stayed there for the next seven seasons.
