Coach Rob Burke shares his journey from growing up the son of a college basketball coach to becoming a successful college coach in his own right.\nCoach Burke played at Chowan after they transitioned from NJCAA to NCAA DIII, but grew up with the likes of Nate McMillian playing for his father [the late but GREAT Bob Burke]. He followed in his father's footsteps when he was a player/coach overseas and then entered the college ranks at Limestone working under Larry Epperly. From Limestone he moved onto Campbell before becoming a Head Coach at Spartanburg Methodist College (JUCO). His teams at SMC went 117-67 and he helped send 32 players D1 & D2. He was named the NJCAA Region 10 COY in 2008-09. From Spartanburg he moved onto be an Assistant Coach at The Citadel. After a four year run at The Citadel he joined Mark Byington's coaching staff as the DOBO at Georgia Southern and helped to turn that program around.\nCB McGrath was hired at UNC Wilmington and hired Coach Burke as his DOBO, each season he was promoted - eventually becoming the Interim HC after starting the season as the "3rd Assistant Coach". Ultimately the staff was dismissed and he took an unpaid Assistant Coach position at Colorado College (NCAA DIII) in January of 2021. After the season he was hired for his dream job - the Head Coach at his alma mater where he'll coach on the "Bob Burke Court".\n**This was recorded PRIOR to the Chowan HC job opening and him being hired**\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beyondtheboxscore/support
