James Robinson, who ran the Pitt offense efficiently for four years, is taking on a new coaching role.

PITTSBURGH -- One of the best point guards in Pitt Panthers history is hanging his shoes and moving to the sidelines after a six year-long professional career. James Robinson has accepted a job as an assistant coach at Delaware, according to a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel. 

After spending four years running point for Jamie Dixon's Panthers, Robinson enjoyed a half dozen years playing overseas. He spent time and played well for teams in Bosnia, Germany and Israel. 

Robinson, a blue-chip recruit coming out of Dematha High School not far outside of Washington, D.C., started 135 of the 136 games he played, averaging 8.2 points and 4.4 assists to just 1.3 turnovers per contest. His 604 career assists rank fifth in Pitt history.
