Episode 50 - Rob Summers - Assistant Basketball Coach - Cleveland State University - a podcast by Jon Cook

Rob Summers is among a rather large group of people in the coaching profession whom I met courtesy of the Ohio Northern University Basketball Camp.  Of the entire group though, Rob may have the most intriguing odyssey through the game and into coaching.  He played at two high major Division I universities (Penn State and West Virginia, where he played for John Beilein), was drafted into the NBA Developmental League (known now as the G League), played professionally overseas for multiple seasons, and began coaching only because an injury prematurely ended his time playing in Europe.  His first foray into the world of coaching was as a graduate assistant coach for Bob Huggins at West Virginia and he had alternating stints at both the Division II and Division I levels, including three seasons as the head coach at Urbana University in Urbana, Ohio.  He is set to begin his 2nd season on the staff at Cleveland State this fall, and was gracious enough to share his full story with me.  Please enjoy my conversation with Rob Summers of Cleveland State University.
