Early life and education

Born in Liberty, Missouri, Robinson graduated from Liberty High School in 1998.[1] After high school, Robinson went on a two-year LDS mission to Maceió, Brazil.[1] In 2000, Robinson enrolled at Stanford University, where he would play on the Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team from 2001 to 2005, under coach Mike Montgomery in the first three years and Trent Johnson in his last. He was team captain in his junior and senior years, including the 2003–04 season in which Stanford went 30–2, a season which featured a game-winning shot from him against Arizona.[2][3] Robinson averaged 8.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in his senior season.[3] Robinson graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in political science and master's degree in sociology.[4]

Coaching career

Robinson was a volunteer assistant coach at Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, New Mexico in the 2005–06 season.[2] The following season, Robinson returned to Stanford to become men's basketball director of operations, again under Trent Johnson. Stanford promoted Robinson to assistant coach the following year.[2] In the 2008–09 season, Robinson was assistant at NAIA William Jewell College.[2]

Reuniting with Trent Johnson at LSU in 2009, Robinson first served as Johnson's executive assistant for the 2009–10 season and director of operations in 2010–11 before becoming an assistant coach again in the 2011–12 season.[2]

From 2012 to 2016, Robinson was head coach at Southern Utah. Robinson went 28–90 in four years and was fired on March 9, 2016.[5]
