Bob Starkey had the opportunity to take over a program that he, as the interim head coach, had taken to a Final Four. By the way, nearly everyone was coming back for another Final Four run. Without the guarantee of a job on the new staff, Starkey turned it down!
Recently, Starkey was inducted into the A Step Up Assistant Coaches Hall of Fame. Now he's part of a staff, led by Johnnie Harris, to turn around the Auburn Women's Basketball program.
He brings over 30 years of coaching experience in the Southeastern Conference to the Plains. Bob Starkey is featured in this Talking Tigers Podcast, presented by Wickles Pickles.
