So...

Who's his employer? I've seen him work both BTN and ESPN games this year. Freelance? BTN let ESPN borrow him?

Per his tweet, he said he accepted positions at both BTN and ESPN. So both are his employers.

Thanks. I didn't catch those tweets!..or tweets for that matter.

I watched Robbie’s analyst bit yesterday - very well done I thought. So happy for him to land in these roles.

Great first few broadcasts. He'll be really good when he gets comfortable enough to go offscript. Hope he has a long career.

He’d make a great coach someday. Maybe Purdue...

I don’t think he has the want to coach. I think he honestly wants to do exactly what he is doing now...and he has a lot of natural talent to do so. Given he is probably only 26-28, he is light years ahead of many in the field.

I guess it depends on how much longer there's money in it. ESPN has been cutting staff. BTN will eventually have to when the cable tv money crashes. I could see him as a coach.

No.

Typically you don't see people go into broadcasting, then coaching. It's usually the opposite...
