He says the first game of the season, which they lost by a point, was a game where they were still figuring each other out and now that they have a rhythm, he expects it to remain for the rest of the season. So far this season, Robinson says he has noticed the elite talent level and IQ of the players on the team. I just sat down and went to the drawing board and I think we are going to have a really good year.” So, I pretty much got my point guard, some shooters, defenders and bigs. “This year, I sat down and relaxed and told myself to figure out what I need. Some games were tough where I couldn’t get players to come in, so I didn’t know who I was going to have. “So, I had to scramble in two weeks to find some players. “My GM (general manager) Marcus Shockley ended up getting very sick due to COVID and asked me to take over, so I stopped playing and took over,” Robinson said about how he became head coach last year. Robinson took the reins only two weeks before the season last year and didn’t really get the chance to fully implement his system and style of play until later in the season. There are only two returning players from last season’s team. We have Winston written across our jerseys, why not get the players from Winston because I know we got them.” “I tried to keep it local, you know, Greensboro, Winston and High Point, because we have so much talent but nowhere to show it. “I think we have some of the best guards in the entire league in Mike Chambers, out of North Forsyth, and Mike Hughes, out of Prep, that add to our veteran Anthony Thomas who also went to Prep,” said Robinson about his guards. They play their home games at The Bond Center, which is on the campus of Shekinah Glory Christian Church, 5095 Lansing Dr. The Wolves are 2-1 on the season and second year head coach Antonio Robinson feels they have the talent to win the ECBL championship this season. Founded in 2018, after rebranding from Winston Certified, the Wolves are trying to raise their following in the area by bringing in hometown talent to represent them on the court. The Winston-Salem Wolves are a minor league basketball team that plays in the East Coast Basketball League (ECBL).
