Robinson '83 Joins Milwaukee Bucks Front Office
August 15, 2016 | Men's Basketball
Craig Robinson '83, a two-time Ivy League Player of the Year who coached at Northwestern, Brown and Oregon State, has joined the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks as the team's Vice President of Player and Organizational Development.
Robinson joins teammate Steve Mills '81 in taking on a front-office role with an NBA team, as Mills became the general manager of the New York Knicks in 2013.
While at Princeton, Robinson led the Tigers in scoring in each of his final three seasons, earning second-team All-Ivy League honors as a sophomore in 1981 before being named the Ivy League Player of the Year in 1982 and '83. Princeton won an Ivy title in three of his four seasons with the team, and in 1983, the 12th-seeded Tigers pulled a first-round NCAA Tournament upset against fifth-seeded Oklahoma State at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore., where Robinson returned 25 years later as Oregon State's head coach.
Following a career in finance, Robinson joined the staff of newly-former Princeton coach Bill Carmody at Northwestern in 2000 alongside another first-time assistant coach in Mitch Henderson. In 2006, Robinson had his first NCAA head coaching role when he took over at Brown, remaining there for two seasons until he was hired at Oregon State in 2008. In 2014, Robinson joined ESPN as an analyst.
Robinson's daughter, Leslie, is a rising junior in the Princeton women's basketball program.
