Malone Finalises UNC Coaching Staff with Return of Former Player Brandon Robinson
Brandon Robinson joins Michael Malone’s staff, marking his second tenure with the Tar Heels after a stint in the NBA as an assistant video coordinator.
New North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Michael Malone has finalised his coaching staff, adding former player Brandon Robinson to the group. The appointment follows the recent addition of Ryan Tibaldi, with Robinson’s inclusion serving to round out the new leadership team.
According to Inside Carolina, Robinson, who played four seasons as a wing for the Tar Heels under former head coach Roy Williams, has returned to the program. He was a member of the squad that won the national championship in 2017.
This marks Robinson’s second stint with the university’s basketball program. He previously served as the first-ever graduate assistant under former head coach Hubert Davis in May 2021. Between his two tenures at UNC, Robinson worked as an assistant video coordinator for the Charlotte Hornets and subsequently for the Utah Jazz.
The current staff under Malone’s leadership includes personnel with a mix of college, NBA, and UNC experience. The specific title or responsibilities of Robinson’s new role have not been explicitly detailed in the source material, only that he is joining the staff.
The report was originally published by Tar Heels Wire and cited by Yahoo Sports. Verification of the appointment via official university channels is recommended for definitive confirmation.
