Bobby Steinburg
Assistant Coach
Bobby Steinburg who has long been known as one of the most highly networked and knowledgeable recruiters in the game today is now in his fifth season as a member of the Kent State coaching staff.
The Kent State assistant was recently recognized by Basketball Times, as one of the 'Best Future NCAA Division I Head Coaches'; ranking No. 6 nationally.
Joining the program as an assistant coach prior to the 2008-09 season, Steinburg came to the Golden Flashes after spending the previous two seasons as the head coach at Motlow (Tenn.) Community College.
During his tenure on the Golden Flashes staff, Steinburg’s vaunted recruiting efforts have landed the program student-athletes from across the country, including First Team NJCAA Division I All-American Chris Evans this past year. In all Steinburg has recruited four Junior College All-Americans to Kent State in four years.
His work on the recruiting trail has paid huge dividends earning Kent State postseason appearances every season he has been on staff. Last year alone he helped the 2010-11 squad went 25-12 while becoming the first Mid-American Conference team in 21 years and just the second in 48 years to win back-to-back regular season titles outright. Steinburg assisted with a team that featured just one senior and 10 newcomers to the line-up and led the inexperienced group at the beginning of the year to the quarterfinals of the NIT by upsetting both Saint Mary’s and Fairfield on the road of the annual postseason tournament. The book on the NIT run was finally put to a close with a tightly contested loss at Colorado, and while the 2010-11 season ended, the experience and confidence gained over the final six games only began to build the fire for what is expected to be another monumental campaign this winter.
“Coach Steinburg has the rare combination of attitude, energy and innate basketball instincts that make him successful, says Doug Gottlieb, ESPN College Basketball Analyst. “His passion for his players and his desire to see them succeed in life is what I have grown to admire most. In my opinion it is no fluke that success has followed and will continue to follow Coach Steinburg.”
In his two seasons at Motlow, Steinburg turned a program that won only seven games in the season, prior to his appointment into a national contender. In his first season at the helm in 2006-07, the Bucks compiled a 10-6 TJCCAA league record and a share of the Eastern Division regular season championship. In year two, given time to bring a full recruiting class aboard, Steinburg led Motlow to a school record 28-5 mark and a No. 15 final national ranking.
From 1969-2006, Motlow men’s basketball had only sent three student-athletes to the NCAA Division I level. In Steinburg’s two-year tenure, nine athletes moved on to college basketball’s elite level. Included in that list are former KSU student-athletes Tyree Evans, the sixth rated recruit by Rivals.com and Frank Henry-Ala, who was ranked 71st on the list.
The 15-year coaching veteran is widely respected in coaching circles as a great teacher of fundamentals with a gift for evaluating and establishing relationships with prospective student-athletes.
“Bobby Steinburg is one of the top recruiters in the country regardless of level,” says national recruiting analyst, Jerry Mullen, “His various coaching stops and engaging personality have enabled Steinburg to forge invaluable recruiting contacts both national and world-wide.”
Prior to his arrival at Motlow, Steinburg served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of California-Davis. Given the task to assist head coach, Gary Stewart in the Aggie’s transition from NCAA Division II to I reclassification, Steinburg responded by helping sign arguably the best recruiting classes in the Big West Conference during his tenure. In addition to his recruiting efforts, Steinburg played an instrumental role in skill development, scouting, marketing and public relations of the Aggie basketball program.
From 2001-2003 Steinburg served as top assistant at Bellarmine University. He assisted in all areas of the Knight’s program including recruiting, on floor instruction, scouting, and academic development.
Steinburg spent 2000-2001 coaching at the University of Idaho under one of the game’s great teachers, C. David Farrar. His appointment distinguished him among the youngest Division I full-time assistant coaches in the country at age 25. Prior to his stint at Idaho, Steinburg served two seasons as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Motlow. His back-to-back recruiting classes helped put Motlow in the national top-25 in the National Junior College Athletic Association for two straight seasons; a feat that has not been accomplished until the Bucks’ recent pre-season ranking of #12 by the Sporting News magazine. He began his coaching career as both a student and graduate-assistant coach under Farrar and former North Carolina Tar Heel, Randy Wiel at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Steinburg received his bachelors and masters degrees at Middle Tennessee State. Originally from Oswego, N.Y., he grew up in Richmond, Va.

He'd fit in nicely up here in southern Northwest Ohio. As far as 'flexible learning pathways' some of the adjuncts at Firelands can do full splits Van Damme style.Motlow State Community College is a public, multi-campus college offering certificates, associate degrees, and flexible learning pathways in southern Middle Tennessee.
Kent has averaged 20 wins a season since he's been there. It would be an excellent hire.

Re: Asst Coaches RUMORS & SCUTTLE
Agreed, would have no issues stealing a well regarded assistant away from one of our MAC East rivals, especially as they starting to struggle more then they have for the past decade plusmscarn wrote: Kent has averaged 20 wins a season since he's been there. It would be an excellent hire.

A name to keep an eye on is Vincennes (IN) coach Todd Franklin. Wichita State signed Akron native Darius Carter from that program last year.
Re: Asst Coaches RUMORS & SCUTTLE
The Kent board and highmajorscoop seem to think that Steinburg to BG is a done deal. As someone who's long admired (and envied) the Kent basketball program from afar it's tremendous to bring someone from that organization in.
His previously cited Kent bio even has a "What They Are Saying" rundown of positive quotes from various basketball people. We didn't even have one of these for our new head coach but that's another story.
"Bobby Steinburg is one of the great young coaches in the industry. I know a lot of coaches extremely well and Bobby is someone who just gets it - he can recruit, coach and knows how to deal with people. There's just not a ton of coaches who share the same versatility."
~ Jeff Goodman
College Basketball Insider, ESPN.com
"As a head coach at the junior college level and as a top assistant in Division I, Bobby Steinburg has proven to be a tireless worker, savvy recruiter and most important, superb teacher of the game of basketball. Athletes fortunate enough to work with him hone and develop their skills on the court while building their character off of it. Without question, Bobby Steinburg is a rising star in the game.''
~ Dana O’Neil
College Basketball Writer ESPN.com
“Coach Steinburg doesn’t leave a stone unturned when it comes to recruiting. He works all the angles. He has an eye for talent and finds guys who can play no matter where they are.”

"Two names that I’ve heard that may be involved with assistant spots at Bowling Green are Indiana State assistant Dave Ragland and West Alabama head coach Mark Downey. Ragland has been at ISU for four seasons, and is the former head coach at Vincennes (IN) College. Downey just completed his first year at West Alabama. He worked for new BGSU head coach Chris Jans in 1998-99 at Independence CC."

Re: Asst Coaches RUMORS & SCUTTLE
Rumor is that an announcement of new assistants expected next week. No idea who, but just heard that it will be made public next week.
I like that steak comes from cows. That is why a cow will not think twice about eating you.

Ragland is official. Impressive to land an assistant from a successful MVC program. Jans and ISU coach Greg Lansing are very good friends.

Very cool. Where is it official?
Re: Asst Coaches RUMORS & SCUTTLE
He's in the university directory. Steinburg and Downey are not listed (at least as of now).
