Quote:The LSU basketball coaching staff could be in flux.
Assistant coach Robert Kirby has been contacted by Memphis and was offered a job on Josh Pastner's staff, according to a text message from Associate Athletic Director Eddie Nunez.
Kirby has not made a decision to leave, Nunez also texted.
A Memphis native, Kirby is regarded as one of the top recruiters in college basketball.
Stay tuned to NOLA.com/lsu for further updates.
Gotta like the part about being one of the top recruiters.
Kirby came from Georgetown to LSU in 2012 --- short visit.

I think this move for him makes a lot of sense. One problem I see is he has been an SEC guy for quit a few years. We'll see.
Kirby Bio
Welcome, Robert Kirby! Now show us your recruiting chops.
Welcome home Coach Kirby!
Kirby got Otto Porter to Georgetown, and now to the NBA. Has a top class this year at a basketball wasteland (LSU). Native of Memphis. Best candidate possible. Couldn't have done better.
We just hired LSU's head assistant to take over as our 2nd assistant. Incredible.

Wow, let's hope for good news.
This guy is number 6 on the official list.
Was told by someone I believe knows what's what that he was a #1 target.
BWJ is referring to TC's list.
