Description

Former Davidson basketball coach Bob McKillop, this week’s star of “Sports Legends of the Carolinas,” is the first person I’ve interviewed two separate times for this series.
I first sat down with McKillop in late May, shortly after he had finished his 33rd season as the head basketball coach at Davidson. Then, 17 days later, McKillop retired in an emotional press conference and announced he would be replaced by his son, Matt McKillop, who had been his lead assistant at Davidson for years. So Bob McKillop, 72, and I sat down again for Part 2 of our conversation. Here, he talks about when he knew it was time to leave "Camelot," as he calls Davidson, and what comes next for him. 
Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens. McClatchy's director of audio is Davin Coburn. For lots more on the show, visit https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sportslegends .
