In addition to his work as a coach on this level, his passion and knowledge of the game along with his vision for establishing an identity for this team sold me. It was also clear that he will partner with Joe (Douglas) to help foster and develop the winning culture we are striving to establish. For us as a group, we were impressed with the way he commanded the space and his ability to communicate his vision throughout the process.”
“We spoke to some tremendous coaches, but Rob is the right partner and leader for us,” added GM Joe Douglas, who led the search. “His vision for this team aligns with what we have been working to establish here the last two years.”
