It is not a stretch to say that Coach Robinson is part of the John Wooden coaching family tree. Coach R. spent numerous hours at Wooden's summer camps soaking in the game from the Wizard of Westwood. This article is a nice appreciation of John Wooden's career and roots.
John Wooden was all about team. This quote from the article drives this home:
...there was one compromise Wooden absolutely refused to make.
His players never took control of the gym. Great as they were, Pauley Pavilion never became their stage to pose for the pros, and doing it the coach’s way was about more than getting a haircut.
