(From the Courant)

“He was certainly one of the great athletes I’ve coached,” Calhoun said. “He just could never get the break he needed.”

“He was just a really, really sweet kid. The world was harsh for him, because they weren’t all like Stanley Robinson. He was such a caring, giving person.”

“I spoke with him on Monday,” Calhoun said, “I don’t think there’s been a three or four week period where I haven’t talked to him since he left UConn. At St. Joe’s, the kids are always asking, ‘how’s Sticks?’ ... Despite all the tough breaks, he always had a smile on his face.”

(From Jacobs' column)

Jim Calhoun had called to wish Stanley Robinson a happy birthday on July 14 and the two talked again Monday afternoon. Calhoun was helping his former UConn star line up a job in Connecticut.
                                                                  
“I got a call this morning,” he said softly. “Sticks had the job. I had to tell the owner of the company he wouldn’t be coming in.”
