Yes, he was, fired Bob Hill the year Robinson was hurt (when they ended up in the lottery and drafted Duncan). His first full year was Duncan's rookie year. He was head coach at D3 college only, Pomona or Cal Poly Pomona or Pomona Pitzer, forget which.

He fired Bob Hill - whom Rodman caller "Boner" - in a playoff series in Utah Rodman refused to stay in the hotel with the team - when asked why - he said "where would you rather stay? in a chalet with Madonna or in the hotel with Boner?"
