Robinson eyes AD spot at Coastal

The only person to coach men's basketball and serve as athletic director at three different Division I schools said Tuesday that he has spoken to Coastal Carolina about the opening atop its athletic department.

Les Robinson, who has served in both capacities at N.C. State, The Citadel and East Tennessee State, has interest in becoming the next athletic director at Coastal. He was contacted through intermediaries about the position but has yet to have a formal interview, he said.

Robinson has ties to Coastal's athletic department. Women's basketball coach Alan LeForce was an assistant at ETSU under Robinson for several seasons before taking over the program when Robinson left to become the head coach at N.C. State in 1990.
