His last position was as assistant men's basketball coach at the University of Arizona.[1] Robinson served as the head men's basketball coach at the University of Tulsa from 1995 to 1997 and Florida State University from 1997 to 2002. He was an assistant to Roy Williams for 26 years, including two stints at the University of Kansas (1988–1995 and 2002–2003), and at North Carolina following Williams's move from Kansas in 2003. Robinson assisted the North Carolina Tar Heels to three NCAA Division tournament titles, in 2005, 2009, and 2017. As a head coach, Robinson led his teams to the NCAA tournament three times, twice with Tulsa and once with Florida State. In 1997, he was named WAC Mountain Division Coach of the year.[2]
