One of the most efficient scorers in Ivy League history, Craig Robinson led the League in field goal percentage as a junior in 1981-82 (57.7) and as a senior in 1982-83 (64.2) en route to back-to-back Ivy League Player of the Year nods. Robinson, who tallied 1,441 career points, also collected two First Team All-Ivy selections and three Ivy League titles during his four years in a Princeton uniform.
 
He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1983, completing his senior thesis on social stratification in prisons. Robinson was selected in the fourth round of the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and played professionally for the Manchester Giants of the British Basketball League. He continued his education, earning his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Chicago in 1992 and became a bond trader as vice president of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and managing director at Loop Capital Markets.
 
Robinson, who had been an assistant coach at Illinois Institute of Technology from 1988-90 prior to earning his M.B.A., returned to the collegiate ranks as an assistant coach at Northwestern University (2000-06) and head coach at Brown University (2006-08) and Oregon State University (2008-14). He was the vice president of player and organizational development for the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2016-17 season and has held a similar role with the New York Knicks since 2017. He has also been a college basketball analyst for both ESPN and CBS Sports Network.
 
Robinson is the older brother of former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama and the brother-in law of former U.S. President Barack Obama. His daughter, Leslie Robinson, is a senior on the Princeton women’s basketball team.
