Former Oregon State coach Craig Robinson will join the ESPN men’s college basketball team as an analyst.
The brother of First Lady Michelle Obama will team up with former South Florida coach Stan Heath, as the two will call telecasts on ESPNU, along with providing insight and analysis. Both will begin their stints at the Worldwide Leader during the network’s annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, with Heath covering the Miami (Fla.) at Florida game on November 17, (ESPNU, 9 pm Eastern), while Robinson will make his debut with the Iona at Wofford match up on November 18 (ESPN2, 7 am).
Robinson spent the past six seasons with the Beavers and left with the fourth-most wins in school history (94). The former two-time Ivy League Player of the Year at Princeton is still ranked sixth in school annuals with 1,441 career points. He was a fourth round selection by the 76ers in the 1983 NBA draft, but never played in the Association. Robinson did play two seasons with the British Basketball League’s Manchester Giants.
Heath spent nine years as head coach with Arkansas, Kent State and South Florida, with his greatest success coming in 2001-02 when he led the Golden Flashes team that included future Chargers All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates to a 30-6 mark and a trip to the Elite Eight during his first year with the school. He also led South Florida to the NCAA Tournament during the 2011-12 season, as the Bulls defeated California in an opening round game before shocking fifth-seed Temple in the round of 64.
He also served five seasons as an assistant to Tom Izzo at Michigan State, as the Spartans reached three straight Final Fours and won the 2000 national championship during his time at the school.
