After 19 transformative years leading Radford University Athletics, Robert Lineburg is stepping down — leaving behind a legacy of championship success, facility upgrades, and a winning culture. Under his guidance, Radford captured 27 Big South titles, 24 tournaments, and 33 NCAA appearances, while 36 coaches earned Big South Coach of the Year honors and over 30 student-athletes earned All-American status. A former college basketball coach and son of a legendary high school coach, Lineburg’s passion for student-athlete success reshaped the program. President Bret Danilowicz called him the “heart and soul” of Radford Athletics. Lineburg will retire Dec. 31, 2026, with Deputy Director Cory Durand stepping in as interim leader.

Radford men’s basketball survived a heart-stopping 76-75 loss to Winthrop, thanks to a buzzer-beating three-pointer — but it came at a steep cost. Del Jones lit up the scoreboard with 25 points and 8 rebounds, while the whole team scored, but 19 turnovers handed Winthrop 21 points. Radford won the rebounding battle (31-28) and shot 75% from the line, but couldn’t hold off a late-game surge. After Jones’ clutch three and and-one, Winthrop’s final free throw sealed the win. Up next: High Point this weekend — weather permitting.
