Congratulations to CC Foy (First Team) and Cinia McCray (Second Team) for earning All-Conference awards. Can someone explain to me though why Coach Rob didn't get Coach of the Year? How do we go 16-0 and the next team went 12-4 and we don't have the Coach of the Year? The MEAC has a lot of explaining to do with that. I think this has to be the first time I've ever heard that a coach goes undefeated and wasn't picked as Coach of the Year. Unbelievable!

It makes no sense that Coach Rob was not coach of the year!

You ain't never lied OSA.....it's a known syndrome called AAF (Aggie A$$whipping Fatigue) There’s a lot of truth to that. Look back...I don’t believe that Bibbs, Capel, Corbett, Geno or Cal won more than a couple of those between the five of them. |

I guess some Aggies are probably saying 'told ya so, i knew he wasnt the best coach in the MEAC.'
Its a travesty that the coach who did something that only a handful of coaches have done in conference history is not your COY is crazy. Something has to be said for going out there night in, night out and taking everyone's best shot and still coming out unscathed is remarkable. Its one thing to receive preseason accolades but another to back it up and dominate the league.
This may be because i believe they vote on the postseason awards prior to the conclusion of regular season.
Maybe if he would have beaten Smith or ETSU he would have gotten the award. But i digress
Doesnt matter the Aggies are hoping for the last laugh when they raise the tournament title above their head and qualify for NCAA tourney.
Congrats Lady Aggie Program, prepare to defend your tourney title, because for everyone else remember... "to be the man, you have to beat the man." Woooooooooooooo. Lol

Not to be a jerk, but I figure if he beats JCSU and has one additional out-of-conference victory he's the only coach that gets any first place votes for coach of the year.
On the other hand, he went like 15-1 last year and was picked to win the conference this year. It ain't like he did anything extraordinary to improve by one game in the conference since he already had the tools to go 16-0 when he walked in the door. UMES went from 7-9 to 12-4 in the conference, so I see it.
Carry on...

It ain't like he did anything extraordinary to improve by one game in the conference since he already had the tools to go 16-0 when he walked in the door. UMES went from 7-9 to 12-4 in the conference, so I see it. Carry on... BCU's Head Coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis won COTY for 3 years in a row in 2016, 2017 and 2018 after going 12-4, 15-1 and 15-1 in MEAC play in those years. For context, she went 9-7 in MEAC play in 2014-15 (13-17 overall) and 8-8 in 2013-14. Coach Robinson went 13-3 in 2013, 13-3 in 2014, 12-4 in 2015, 12-4 in 2016, 8-8 in 2017, then jumped to 15-1 last year before this year's 16-0. Coach Robinson's 13-3 record in 2013 was a 4-game improvement from the 9-7 record in 2012. But David Six won Coach of the Year in 2013 after going 16-0 in MEAC play. So Coach Robinson didn't win after a 4-game jump in 2013 and after a 7-game jump in 2018. If Coach Robinson wins a 3rd MEAC Championship in 7 years, it's not going to be a good look for the MEAC voters to go 0-for-7 in voting him for Coach of the Year. |

How many of them lost to a d-2 and barely won an out of conference game?
I'm only asking out of cynicism. Knowing the state of meac athletics in general I wouldn't be surprised if all of them lost to a d-2 team and lost almost every out of conference game.

Conference award voting for coaches is typically done off of the conference results. If you're using that... you're kind of moving the bar. That seems to be the case on this one for Coach Rob over the past 7 years. |

All-MEAC awards have nothing to do with non-conference games. The only games that matter are the 16 conference games that each team plays. Head coaches and SID's (who usually vote with whoever the head coach wants) vote on All-MEAC selections. For him to go 16-0 and not get the award means that the conference intentionally chose to give it to someone else because they didn't want Coach Rob to have it. It's really simple. The last head coach (David Six at Hampton) that went 16-0 got despite A&T finishing second and had a huge win increase that year. This isn't the first year they have done that to Coach Rob. A couple of the other times have been mentioned and you could make a case for why or why not he didn't get it. But this year...16-0...to not get it....that just jealousy and hating by the other conference head coaches. What else did he have to do in conference play? Did he not win every game? Looks like a few people on social media are really upset about Coach Rob's Coach of the Year award being stolen from him.
Then look at the other selections on All-MEAC teams...losing teams with losing records making All-Conference teams. Does not winning matter to be an All-MEAC selection? Like you can average 20 points per game all you want to, but if your team doesn't win...you can't be an All-MEAC performer or on the pro level an All Star. Winning matters everywhere but the MEAC. |

Well from what I'm reading I don't know whether or not he should've gotten one this year, but it appears he should've have won it this year or at some point over his career provided the voting is done strictly on in conference performance. Anybody got a link to the actual criteria?
Personally I'm generally more impressed when somebody does more than expected or more with less, but when you have other conference coaches who are not doing more than expected or more with less getting the award while Rob is not then you have an issue.
