ADA, Okla. – The East Central University Men's Basketball Head Coach Chris Crutchfield has announced the hiring of Cameron Robinson as the team's assistant coach.

"We are so lucky to add Cameron to our staff," said Crutchfield.  "He will be a great addition along with Max Pendery.  Cameron has a variety of experience at various levels of basketball.  He will be a guy our players will love being around and a guy that will represent ECU in a first class manner."

Robinson comes to ECU after spending a season at Alcorn State as an assistant coach.  He helped the team to a five game improvement, a top five finish in the conference regular season and qualified for the SWAC tournament.
He then spent a season as the graduate assistant coach at Northeastern State (2018-19).  The team improved from eight to 14 wins from the previous season and qualified for the MIAA tournament for the first time in five years.

During the 2016-17 season, Robinson was the associate head varsity coach and head JV coach at Central Baptist College.  Robinson helped the Mustangs finish third in the conference, after the team had previously not finished higher than ninth (of 10 teams).  The team advanced the NCCAA Tournament, where they claimed the regional title and finished fifth at nationals.  Central Baptist also won a program-best 23 games under his assistance. 

The year prior, Robinson was the assistant varsity and head junior high coach at Osceola High School.  The varsity team claimed the regional championship and finished runner-up in the district tournament.  During the season, he helped produce two college signees and two all-state selections.

He was the coach for the Arkansas Woodz/Wings (AAU) Elite team for five years.  He served as the recruiter for the team, with several of the team's players advancing to NCAA Division I or II teams.  The Woodz also claimed the 2018 Nike Peach Jam championship.

He also spent a year as the associate head coach at Southwest Christian Prep Academy in Little Rock, Ark.  Three of his players earned scholarships at Division I schools and three more went to Division II schools.

Robinson also has previous Division I experience with Arkansas State University, where he worked for three seasons as an intern and student manager.

The Little Rock, Ark., native earned a bachelor's degree in sports administration at Arkansas State University-Jonesboro in May 2013.  He is currently pursuing a master's degree at East Central in sports administration.
