Craig Robinson out at OSU

Rumors are that Oregon State coach Craig Robinson has been fired after six seasons

He went 93-104 in that span.

Really surprised it took so long. Robinson is a very good recruiter of talent, but for the most part, his players underachieved!

Not sure why he got an extension a while back, but his $4 million buyout will only be 10 times the salary his brother-in-law makes.....so I think he'll be ok!   

So, could Arizona assistant Damon Stoudamire (or even Ben Howland) lead the Beavers into the Chiles Center this coming fall?

In other news Obama declines an invitation to speak at OSU commencement in 2015....  

All signs pointing to Montana's Wayne Tinkle to Oregon State.......

Damon Stoudamire was interviewed and Ben Howland, not surprisingly, said he was "not interested."

Tinkle, 48, has led Montana to three NCAA tournament appearances in the past five seasons and has a 158-91 mark in eight years at the helm. Tinkle has a highly recruited son, Tres, who is a skilled forward in the Class of 2015. The younger Tinkle is apparently being recruited by several Pac-12 schools.

Looks like they took a Tinkle:

This just in from Inside Blitz/The Big Lead

ESPN is beefing up its college basketball team this Fall, and people familiar with the network’s hiring process say the Worldwide Leader is hiring former Oregon State coach Craig Robinson (aka President Barack Obama’s brother-in-law) and former Arkansas coach Stan Heath. Robinson isn’t expected to be on the set of Gameday, but his primary role will be as a studio analyst. People spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hiring hasn’t been announced.
