Brown introduces new head basketball coach

Brown University welcomed its new head basketball coach, Craig Robinson, at a news conference today in the university gym.

Robinson, 44, a two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in the early 1980s at Princeton, had been an assistant coach at Northwestern University before being tapped for the Brown job. His brother-in-law is Democratic Congressman Barack Obama of Illinois.

Brown athletic director Michael Goldberger said Robinson fit the school's three requirements for a new coach: integrity, ability to balance athletics and academics, and leadership abilities, according to the Associated Press.
