Robinson becomes the 11th head coach in program history, succeeding Alico Dunk, who left in June to become the head coach at Virginia Union.

“We’re pleased to welcome Coach Robinson to Tuscaloosa,” Stillman Athletics Director Terrance Whittle said. “She has a proven record of winning programs and developing talent. We know she’ll help Stillman continue to compete for championships in the HBCUAC.”

A native of Fort Pierce, Florida, Robinson spent last season as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I Lafayette College in the Patriot League, where she helped improve the Leopards’ win total and coached against nationally ranked Notre Dame.

“I’d like to thank Dr. [Yolanda] Page and Coach Whittle for the opportunity to serve as the next head coach at Stillman,” Robinson said. “I’m excited and honored to lead this program and look forward to working with our student-athletes and supporting the Stillman community.”

Her coaching career began in 2015-16 at Saint Petersburg College as an assistant and recruiting coordinator. Robinson later coached at her alma mater, Centennial High School, before taking her first head coaching job at Indian River State College (IRSC) in 2018.

Robinson went 101-71 in six seasons at IRSC before the women’s basketball program was cut in March 2024. She led the Pioneers to a Southern Conference championship in 2023, three runner-up finishes, and a program-best 26 wins in 2023-24, including an undefeated 10-0 home record.

Stillman is coming off a program-best 26-6 record in 2024-25, including a 17-1 mark to win the regular-season title in its first year in the HBCU Athletic Conference.

As a player, Robinson was a two-time all-conference honoree at Palm Beach State College before transferring to Saint Leo University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Robinson later completed a master’s degree in athletic administration from Concordia Irvine University.
