RIP: Will Robinson
Will Robinson, 96; first black Division I basketball coach scouted for the Pistons - Los Angeles Times
Quote:
Robinson broke a racial barrier when he coached the Illinois State basketball team from 1970 to 1975. He finished with a 78-51 record and never had a losing season. His best player was Doug Collins, who was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the No. 1 overall pick in 1973.
"I'm incredibly sad that I lost a guy that I loved as much as anybody in the world," Collins said Monday. "He taught me the essence of life that has served me well from the age of 18 to 56 because he was more of a life coach than a basketball coach."
