MONTEZ ROBINSON Head Coach (Second Season) • 18-23 Overall, 13-5 SWAC
After more-than tripling Alcorn State’s conference win total last season, Montez Robinson enters his second season in 2016-17 as head coach of the men’s basketball program. Robinson inherited a squad that went 6-26, 4-14 SWAC before his arrival, and immediately turned the Braves into a contender by going 15-15, 13-5 SWAC last year. As a result, Robinson launched Alcorn up the standings from a ninth-place team to a secondplace team in just one season. Alcorn’s enormous turnaround garnered national attention as Robinson was a finalist for both the 2016 Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year and 2016 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year awards. Robinson has been a ferocious recruiter, a student of the game and a passionate teacher in the game of basketball for more than a decade. His experience not only strengthens a coaching staff, but creates a positive environment for coaches and student-athletes, alike. Prior to Alcorn, Robinson served as assistant coach for the BethuneCookman University men’s basketball program for four seasons. In his time at B-CU, the Wildcats advanced to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tournament quarterfinals twice – with a trip to the championship game in 2012. At B-CU, his primary duties included assisting in recruiting, scouting of opponents, as well as the day-to-day operations of the B-CU Basketball Office. He also served as the camp director for the Bethune-Cookman Men’s Basketball Fundamental Camp, Elite Camp and Team Camp for the past two years. He was also the lead coach for working directly with post players, including All-MEAC Tournament selection Anthony Breeze. Prior to his time at B-CU, Robinson spent six seasons at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Georgia.
While at KSU, Robinson helped the Team to transition from Division II to the Division I level of athletics and establish the Owls as one of the fastest-growing Division I Men’s Basketball programs in the country. In just their first year of reclassification, the Owls reached the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament semifinals, and won more games than any other in NCAA history for a team in reclassification in a four-year period. They would go on to rank amongst the Top 5 in the mid-major polls. In the six years at KSU, Robinson helped identify and recruit top-rated athletes to compete for the Owls program, in addition to establishing and maintaining relationships with prospective student-athletes and their parents through social interaction. He was a lead liaison for recruiting purposes. Robinson helped coach the conference’s Freshman of the Year, as well as five (5) members of the all-league team. He coached a total of 14 Players of the Week, with seven players going on to play professionally after school. Other duties at KSU included creating daily practice plans, overseeing skill development with post players and assisting with the strength and conditioning of the program, alongside the athletic performance coordinator. Just before his arrival at Kennesaw State University, Robinson was the Associate Head Coach for the men’s basketball program at TruettMcConnell College in Cleveland, Georgia. He worked for three years with the program. At Truett-McConnell College, he served as recruiting coordinator and distributed scholarships amongst the team members. He also exercised his academic prowess with monitoring the team’s academic progress through mandatory study hall sessions. He would go on to manage the housing for student-athletes on the men’s basketball squad, and act as operational officer, overseeing the entirety of travel for the team. During his tenure with Truett-McConnell, he assisted with the turnaround of the team on the court, improving from an eight-win season to a 24-win season in his first year, with just three scholarship athletes. In all, he coached a total of seven all-academic selections within the Georgia Athletic Conference (GAC), along with winning the most games in school history for a single season. Eight studentathletes went on to earn all-conference accolades, with four playing professionally after graduation. Robinson earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from North Georgia College & State University. He played for two years at the school, serving as co-captain of the men’s basketball team both seasons. Prior to that, he played two seasons at Kemper Military Junior College in Missouri, earning his Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. He would go on to earn his Master of Science in Transformative Leadership from Bethune-Cookman University in 2014. Robinson is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Robinson is married to the former Ms. Leah Hornbuckle. The couple has a daughter, Tezlyn, and a son, Montez, Jr.

Alcorn State University
Men’s Basketball ABOUT ALCORN STATE UNIVERSITY Alcorn is the oldest public historically black land-grant institution in the United States and the second-oldest state-supported institution of higher learning in Mississippi. Alcorn University was founded in 1871 as a result of the people of Mississippi’s efforts to educate the descendants of formerly enslaved Africans. It was named in honor of the sitting governor of Mississippi, James L. Alcorn. Alcorn is situated in Claiborne County, seven miles west of Lorman, 80 miles south of the capital city of Jackson, 45 miles south of Vicksburg, and 40 miles north of Natchez. The site was originally occupied by Oakland College, a school established by Presbyterians in 1828; the state of Mississippi purchased the Oakland campus for $40,000 and named it Alcorn University. Hiram R. Revels resigned his seat as a United States senator to become the University’s first president. The state legislature provided $50,000 cash annually for the University’s first 10 years to support its establishment and overall operation. Additionally, 30 acres of land were sold for $188,928; Alcorn received three-fifths of the proceeds, or $113,400. This funding was used for Alcorn’s agricultural and mechanical components. Initially, the institution’s three major study components were the four-year college track, the two-year college track, and the threeyear graded track. Students spent the morning, from seven o’clock until noon, in classes. In the afternoon, they worked in various University shops for eight cents per hour. Room and board, including laundry, cost about $5 a month. In 1878, Alcorn University became Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College. The college was exclusively for males at first, but eventually women were admitted. A dormitory for women was built in 1902. Over time, facilities increased from three historic buildings to more than 80 structures. The original purchase of 225 acres of land grew to a campus of more than 1,700 acres. In 1974, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College became Alcorn State University. Governor William L. Waller signed House Bill 298, granting this status. Alcorn has thrived by continuously accomplishing dynamic goals and objectives despite limited resource allocations from the state. By the early 1990s, Alcorn’s
physical plant and academic programs evolved into a more diversified University. The student population is now representative of more than 65 counties, more than 30 states, and at least 18 foreign countries. The University provides an undergraduate education that enables students to successfully pursue work in graduate and professional schools, engage in teaching, and enter other professions. As Mississippi recognized the importance of educating all citizens, Alcorn has gained status and importance. From the original eight faculty members in 1871, the University has grown to more than 800 faculty and staff. The student body has increased from 179 students to more than 4,000 students with varied ethnic backgrounds. Although early graduates of Alcorn had limited horizons, today’s graduates are successful in their chosen professions, and many are outstanding entrepreneurs. Throughout Alcorn’s history, the leadership and faculty remained committed to enhancing the institution’s image and to attracting young people whose interest is the pursuit and receipt of a quality education. Over the decades, “the college that excelled against great odds” has become one of the leading universities in the nation. Alcorn State University operates divisions with degree programs in more than 50 areas, including the bachelor’s, master’s, and educational specialist degrees. The collaborative strength and contributions of Alcorn’s past 18 presidents during its more than 140 years of existence have enabled the institution to excel. On March 4, 2014, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr. as Alcorn State University’s 19th president. President Rankins' background and vision are strategically aligned with Alcorn’s history and tradition. He is poised to expeditiously move Alcorn State University to the next level of excellence.
