James Robinson, Jr. - Assistant Coach

In his 25 years of coaching experience Coach Robinson has proven that he has the ability to handle the challenges and demands of coaching basketball at all levels.  He's also expert in the fundamentals, a keen evaluator of student/athlete talent, and the kind of pro who can handle the recruiting process to maximum benefit for the student/athletes and the team. 

 

Since 1994, Coach Robinson has been the basketball trainer for the Department of Parks & Recreation in Peekskill, New York where he coordinated basketball leagues and trained and mentored young athletes.  As Assistant Coach at Peekskill HS in 2006, he was an effective communicator between the players and head coach.  In short, Coach Robinson is the perfect assistant coach for the Lady Mustangs:  he knows how to provide the support systems necessary for a winning basketball program.
