Barack Obama's brother-in-law Craig Robinson has joined ESPN as a color commentator for this season's college basketball coverage.

According to the network's announcement, Robinson, a native of Chicago married with four children and is the oldest brother of U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, and Stan Heath, the former head coach at the University of Arkansas and the University of South Florida, are added to its commentator ranks.

The pair of former coaches will debut during ESPN's mid-November season-opening Hoops Tip-Off Marathon and Robinson's first game will be Nov. 18, on ESPN2, in a game between Iona and Wofford.
