The Times' softball coach of the year: Rick Robinson of Norco
Then came the biggest game of the season — the Southern Section Division 1 final against El Modena. And all Williams did was complete a one-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory, rewarding Robinson and Norco with an eighth championship.
For guiding his team to a 29-3 record while mixing in a combination of young and veteran players, Robinson has been selected The Times' softball coach of the year for 2025.
The Cougars were seeded No. 1 and started the season 11-0 before losing to El Modena 5-4. That loss immediately punctured the invincibility of Norco and had Robinson making sure his players kept working hard. Then there was a 1-0 loss to Orange Lutheran in April.
His players responded by dominating in the Division 1 playoffs.

Day 1 Free agency tracker: With only one open spot on standard roster, what will Heat do?
NBA free agency is here. While NBA teams were allowed to begin negotiating with their own impending free agents on June 23 after the NBA Finals ended, free agents can begin negotiating with every team in the league on Monday at 6 p.m. It's worth noting that most free agent signings aren't eligible to become official until the league's moratorium is lifted at noon on July 6. In the wake of three-point shooting forward Duncan Robinson's decision to exercise the early-termination in his contract for next season to become an unrestricted free agent, the Miami Heat enters free agency with a bit of flexibility to improve its roster despite nearly having a full roster. What will happen when free agent negotiations open Monday evening? Heat updates will be posted here throughout Day 1 of free agency. 4 p.m.: The Heat enters free agency with a current salary-cap breakdown that includes 14 players on standard contracts with partially guaranteed or fully guaranteed salaries for next season: Bam Adebayo ($37.1 million), Tyler Herro ($31 million), Andrew Wiggins ($28.2 million), Terry Rozier ($24.9 million of $26.6 million salary currently guaranteed), Davion Mitchell (estimated $11.5 million), Kyle Anderson ($9.2 million), Haywood Highsmith ($5.6 million), Nikola Jovic ($4.4 million), Kel'el Ware ($4.4 million), Kevin Love ($4.2 million), Jaime Jaquez Jr. ($3.9 million), Kasparas Jakucionis ($3.7 million), Pelle Larsson ($978,000 of $2 million salary currently guaranteed) and Keshad Johnson ($2 million). This leaves the Heat just one player short of the 15-man regular-season limit for an NBA standard roster. When including the full salaries for Rozier, Robinson, Larsson but not including cap holds, the Heat has about $176.3 million in salaries committed to 14 players for next season. This includes the $2.5 million in 'unlikely to be earned incentives' that raise Herro's cap number for this upcoming season to $33.5 million. With the projected salary cap for the 2025-26 season set at $154.6 million and the projected luxury tax set at $187.9 million, that means the Heat is about $11.6 million below the luxury-tax threshold for this upcoming season. The Heat also finds itself $19.6 million below the punitive first apron of $195.9 million and far from the dreaded second apron of $207.8 million. The list of players from the Heat's season-ending roster who are set to become free agents this summer includes Robinson (unrestricted free agent), guard Josh Christopher (unrestricted free agent), guard Alec Burks (unrestricted free agent), guard Dru Smith (restricted free agent) and guard Isaiah Stevens (unrestricted free agent). Mitchell was on this list as a restricted free agent before he reached an agreement to return to the Heat prior to Monday's start of league-wide negotiations. One option for the Heat to fill its final roster spot is to bring back Robinson on a contract that would pay him the $9.9 million he would have been guaranteed for next season (but opted out of) with additional season of guaranteed money tacked on. For example, a $33 million contract over three years that would give Robinson a significant amount of guaranteed money while also keeping his cap hit for this upcoming season at $9.9 million to keep the Heat under the luxury-tax threshold. While Robinson could begin talking about a new deal with other teams when free agency opens around the league Monday at 6 p.m., returning to the Heat on a new contract also remains a possibility, according to a league source. Since the Heat has Robinson's Bird rights, it can exceed the salary cap to re-sign him up to his maximum salary despite holding no salary-cap space. Robinson could also be used in a sign-and-trade deal if he strikes a deal elsewhere and needs the Heat to help facilitate such an agreement. This could, in theory, net the Heat a few assets while also possibly getting Robinson's salary completely off its books without getting any salary in return by dealing him into another team's midlevel or trade exception. Such a move involving Robinson is also on the table, according to a league source. If the Heat doesn't bring back Robinson, it will have enough room under the luxury tax to use the $14.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception and/or the $5.1 million bi-annual exception to offer outside free agents without crossing the first apron. This is important because using either the non-taxpayer midlevel exception or the bi-annual exception would hard cap the Heat at the first apron of $195.9 million. The issue with using the full $14.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception is the Heat is only $11.6 million away from the luxury-tax line, which Miami is expected to try to avoid this upcoming season. So, the Heat could instead choose to use the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to add an outside free agent instead of the $14.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception and/or the $5.1 million bi-annual exception. The benefit in doing this is that using the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception would keep the Heat out of the luxury tax and only hard cap the Heat at the second apron of $207.8 million. Midlevel exceptions can also now be used to trade for a player whose salary and contract length fit within the exception's parameters. In addition, the Heat has three trade exceptions at its disposal of $16.1 million (expires on Feb. 6, 2026), $3.1 million (expires on Feb. 6, 2026) and $2.1 million (expires on Dec. 15, 2025). But using a trade exception, which allows a team to acquire a player in a trade even if their salary would otherwise put the team over the salary cap or the team is already over the salary cap, hard caps teams at the first apron.

Report: Pistons Could Pursue Intriguing Trade With Heat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Heading into the 2025 NBA offseason, both the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat are looking to make moves. With the Eastern Conference wide open following the trio of injuries to Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, and Tyrese Haliburton, teams within the conference see an opportunity to be aggressive. Last season, both teams were playoff squads. With the right moves, they could very well take a step forward into being legitimate NBA Finals contenders. Could the two squads come together on a potential trade? Duncan Robinson #55 of the Miami Heat reacts during the fourth quarter of the game against the Detroit Pistons at Kaseya Center on March 05, 2024 in Miami, Florida.

Photo byThat is exactly what one NBA insider has suggested. Read more: Report: Lakers, Deandre Ayton Rumors Receive Massive Update According to a report from longtime NBA insider Marc Stein, the Pistons could look into acquiring Duncan Robinson via a sign-and-trade with the Heat. "The Pistons, meanwhile, are likewise said to be weighing a run at Miami's Duncan Robinson to potentially fill their sudden need for shooting in addition to the interest in LeVert," Stein wrote. "Robinson opted Sunday to bypass his $19.9 million player option for next season, but the move was made, sources said, with the expectation that the Heat and Robinson would work together on a new deal or pursue his exit via sign-and-trade." Detroit suffered a disappointing update on free agent wing Malik Beasley on Sunday as well. It was reported that he is facing major off the court issues. Robinson would be an interesting pickup for the Pistons. He's known for being an elite three-point shooter, which is something Detroit could definitely use more of in order to compete at the highest level in the conference. During the 2024-25 NBA season with Miami, Robinson played in 74 games and made 37 starts. He averaged 11 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.3 rebounds, while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor and knocking down 39.3 percent of his three-point attempts.

There is a chance that Robinson could simply end up re-signing with the Heat. However, if the two sides can't work something out, the door could open up for the Pistons to pursue him via a sign-and-trade. While there is no clear direction with this situation, it's one to keep a close eye on. Robinson would be a very intriguing target for Detroit and would bring the elite three-point shooter the team would be missing if Beasley doesn't return.

'Overlooked' Rookie Poised As Next Late-Round Gem in Eagles Roster Pipeline
'Overlooked' Rookie Poised As Next Late-Round Gem in Eagles Roster Pipeline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have quietly mastered finding defensive talent in the draft's later stages, and fourth-round selection Ty Robinson appears destined to extend that impressive lineage. Advertisement From Josh Sweat's transformation from raw fourth-round gamble into a consistent pass rusher to Avonte Maddox evolving from cornerback to versatile defensive chess piece, the Eagles repeatedly succeed with late-round picks who possess both athletic tools and football intelligence. Robinson embodies this proven template within Vic Fangio's defensive philosophy. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 290 pounds, the former Cornhusker demonstrates the size-speed combination that thrives in Fangio's adaptable system. Rather than fitting the typical fourth-round profile of a limited specialist, Robinson's Nebraska film showcases a defender who generates interior pressure while maintaining disciplined run fits. His final collegiate campaign yielded seven sacks and 13 tackles for loss, illustrating the kind of backfield disruption that Fangio has consistently enhanced throughout his coaching tenure. The established presence of Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis actually amplifies Robinson's opportunity for emergence. Much like Sweat capitalized on attention drawn by veteran pass rushers, Robinson should encounter favorable matchups as offensive lines prioritize blocking proven threats. Carter's recent endorsement carries substantial weight, praising Robinson's movement skills and predicting substantial contributions this season. This early recognition hasn't gone unnoticed. ESPN's Tim McManus highlighted Robinson's selection as Philadelphia's most overlooked offseason acquisition, noting that despite limited evaluation opportunities during spring practices, the rookie has already earned praise from multiple teammates. Davis echoed Carter's sentiments, suggesting Robinson has adapted to the professional environment with remarkable ease. Advertisement Robinson's route to substantial playing time appears direct. Milton Williams' departure created an obvious vacancy that Robinson seems naturally suited to address. His capability to align across multiple interior positions grants Fangio tactical flexibility to deploy him in various packages, from third-down rush situations to early-down run defense. This adaptability proved crucial for players like Maddox in establishing significant roles despite late-round selection. The timing couldn't be better for Robinson's emergence. Philadelphia's defense maintains its foundational pieces while incorporating calculated additions, fostering the organizational continuity that has historically supported late-round development. The defensive line room provides an optimal learning environment where Robinson can absorb knowledge from accomplished veterans while competing for meaningful snaps. If his early momentum carries into training camp, Robinson could quickly ascend from Day 3 pick to Day 1 contributor, continuing the Eagles' long-standing tradition of turning overlooked talent into difference-makers on Sundays.
