A member of Roanoke College’s men’s basketball national championship team of 1972, Robinson is the 10th leading scorer in team history, having accumulated 1,339 career points.
After his senior season, in which he scored 592 points (the ninth best single season total in team history), Robinson was named an All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Recruited to several Division I schools, Robinson became one of the best free throw shooters in the history of RC basketball, making 82.6 percent of his free throws in his career, including a school-record 89.8 percent as a senior.
In his four years in Salem, Robinson helped the Maroons compile an 89-29 record. After the national championship season of 1971-72, Robinson was the key to Roanoke’s appearance in the NCAA tournament in each of the next two seasons. Robinson was also a four-year letter-winner for the Roanoke College golf team.
