NABC RELEASE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Craig Robinson '83 was named the new Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Monday morning.
Robinson will be just the fifth Executive Director in the NABC's history, succeeding Jim Hanley, who has held the position for the past 29 years.
One of only six players to be named Ivy League Player of the Year twice, Robinson helped the Tigers win three Ivy League titles and a pair of NCAA Tournament games. He scored 1,441 career points, pulled down 560 rebounds and blocked 97 shots during his time on the court with the Tigers.
Post-graduation, Robinson was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the fourth round of the 1983 NBA Draft. He would go on to play for the Manchester Giants of the British Basketball League for two seasons prior to returning home and working as a bond trader for 14 years. In 1999, he joined Bill Carmody's coaching staff at Northwestern as an assistant, where he coached alongside Franklin C. Capon-Edward C. Green '40 Mitch Henderson. Robinson would go on to serve as head coach at both Brown and Oregon State, before becoming a college basketball analyst for ESPN and working in the front offices of the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks.
