Assistant coach John Robic, John Calipari’s right-hand man, is featured in Jason King’s weekly feature “King of the Court.”
King of Yahoo! Sports sits down with the Assistant Coach of the Week for a Q and A.
KOTC: How did you (and Calipari) get back together?
Robic: The greatest thing ever is that, the day after I got fired at Youngstown State, he called me and said, ‘We’ve got a job for you at Memphis.’ It was probably the best call I’ve ever received, knowing that you’re out of a job and wondering what you’re going to do with your wife and three kids. He’s a loyal guy. We had a good run together at UMass and a good one at Memphis. Hopefully we’re in for another one, too.
