Robic is back

I think they said he does scouting for the Spurs now.
Nothing would make me happier than having him on Popes staff. He’s obviously very good at breaking down film and he would be a valuable asset in beating Calipari’s ass. He doesn’t even need to be part of the main staff just an associate or specialist role.

Pay the man. Get him back. Make him say no.
I’m just glad he’s ok.

Seeing him back at it is great for him. Glad to see he’s back at it. It also makes it feel like Cal should have been loyal and stuck with his dude? Even if he was having issues, give him a leave of absence. His kid died for gods sake. He clearly was able to turn it around. Maybe it’s just me but I think Cal should have stood by him.
Who knows what really happened between them? The only thing we know for sure is that Cal’s tenure went downhill rapidly after his departure.
Sure. I just think you’ve got to allow some extra grace for someone going through something of that magnitude.
Would it be fair assessment to say that losing him was the first domino in the fall of Calipari?
The man that got Calipari to 6 Final Fours
With Robic at Calipari's side, Calipari reached 6 Final Fours
Without Robic at Calipari's side, Calipari made ZERO Final Fours
I agree, I mean we have no idea what happened but if they were as close as reported for decades then I don’t see how he didn’t say you can come back whenever you feel like you can work again.
No doubt, I think it shows how important he was to Calipari’s success. He wasn’t the same coach without him and we weren’t the same program.
For all his faults, Cal does seem extremely loyal to his people. There's gotta be some things that transpired that we'll never know about. That breakup seems pretty odd, considering how Cal keeps his circle.
I think Robic was the assistant that gave Cal winning teams the first few years at Ky, when he left Cal teams fell apart.
This is the most telling stat to be honest and shows how much Robic meant to Cal’s coaching staff!
I was being sarcastic. Busting the balls of the post above mine.
We’ve been discussing Robic and the downward trend for years now lol.
There's no telling what happened. All we know is Robic's daughter died from cancer (eff that damn disease) and that he really started having personal issues (and who can blame him?!) Even more telling is that folks like Jones and other media don't like to talk about it. So whatever happened, must have been pretty bad. Maybe he and Cal got into it or something; who knows. I'm not gonna blame Cal first without knowing exactly what happened. In reality, it doesn't overly matter. It's history.
I'm just glad Robic is back into it and doing what he loves.
Robic and Peevy were the Cal whispers and leash keepers. They could talk to him and keep him on track.
This. Robic and Cal must have really gotten into it or someone said something really nasty about the other (and didn't mean to) for them to drift apart like that.
