I have to say with the name Bobby I was expecting a much younger guy. Because he definitely looks like he wants to be called “Robert” age wise. Bobby makes him sound like late 20’s really 30’s on paper.

So does Lauren move from that side or an i thinking about a whole different job?

Fair sometimee’s Bobby sticks, especially if you become a bit of a celebrity Bobby Knight, Bobby Flay, Bobby Brown.

But for like office guys especially at director levels, I feel like Bobby’s become Robert’s, Steve’s become Stephen’s, Charley and Chuck’s go back to Charles.

Here’s a link to the longer announcement that explains his background and what he’ll be doing (for those of you like me who have no idea what a Director of Operations and Basketball Strategy does).

Is he related to the Champagne that used to coach Lee College in Baytown?

That was Roy Champagne, but I don’t know if there’s any relation.

Bobby Champagne :champagne:, sounds like he should have been on the Sopranos!

Welcome sir!

A coach he has worked with in the past and trusts. Since he is used to running his own team, this should be a natural fit for him.
