Bibbs won at Hampton without Robinson's help. She had great talent at HU. I don't know if she was the one that went out and recruited those young ladies but good talent seems to follow her where ever she goes. Robinson has done a great job recruiting but looking at Bibb's history she will continue to bring in great talent. The head coach that HU just fired use to recruit for Bibbs at HU when he was her assitant. If she brings him in she probably won't miss a beat in bringing in great talent.

Yeah, sure she won't.
The ladies will still win because the talent level is just that high from the job he has done. And at the end of the day, the wins go on her record. I get that. I'm just saying that losing this guy is super huge. When you get a chance, talk to some of the ladies. Trust me, they won't mind telling you one or two things. The guy meant more than what some of you think. Wishing him well and realizing what he meant to us are two different things.

A&T fans should be happy for both Robinson and Bibbs.
He is a young and talented basketball coach. He was a great recruiter but he did much more than just recruit. If he gets a opportunity to get a head job somewhere that just shows you that Bibbs did a great job of cultivating one of her underlings.
She has won over 400 career games, numerous conference championships, and now if Robinson goes on to be a successful coach in his own right that will only add to her legacy.
I don't see why we have to disparage one to celebrate the other. Robinson wouldn't have had a chance to coach at VCU if not for the experience he had as a member of Bibbs' staff. To work for a Hall of Famer is a great resume booster.
This is like Johnny Dawkins getting the job at Stanford.

I wouldn't disparage the woman. I mean, her resume speaks for itself. All I'm saying is let's take a pause and look at just why was it that this good coach became great when she got to this school. I think the guy deserves a whole lot more than a tap on the back and a wish of good luck. She has probably never had schools at the next level (I'm not 100% on this) come after her top assistant and I think that speaks more to him than here.
I AM NOT DOWNING BIBBS, because I'm not an idiot. I'm just asking that the spotlight be adjusted a little bit. And for the record, the players do too.

When you win 11 championships at three different schools in a 20 year career having good assistants is large part of that success but guess who picked those assistants to start with?
It begins and ends with the woman the the top. This just doesn't happen by pure accident or happenstance. It happens because she recognizes talent both on the court and beside her on the bench. Eventually other folks in the coaching arena pick up on that fact too such as in this case.
Winners breed winners.
No need to run screaming into the streets declaring the end of times. Bibbs will just retool with another "good fit" assistant in beside her who meets the standards she has consistently set for herself and her program time and time again wherever she has been.

For the record, Bibbs was a legendary coach before she arrived in Greensboro. She has won championships and built powerhouse teams everywhere she has coached at. I'm not sure I understand what you seem to be upset about. Everyone here has stated that they loved the job Coach Robinson did for A&T and we wish him the best of luck in his new home. What else do you want us to say?

I'm not upset about anything. To me, this is not about Bibbs. I have acknowledged that she was an above-average winner before she got here. But when you take that PLUS the super recruiting and assistant coaching of Robinson.............you get an undefeated regular season, a 1-loss season the very next year, and HUGE wins over ECU and UNCC. Has she ever had those kind of accomplishments in years past in a 2 year span? I'm not taking anything from her. She obviously is great motivator/manager of people.
It's just something to see everyone rant and rave Bibbs Bibbs Bibbs and not show anyone else some love. Especially when the second dude is obviously that special. That's all.
I mean, other than me bringing it up, no one has even attempted to give dude any kind of credit up here.

What are you talking about?
These are all previous statements made on this same thread. It seems like you are just looking to start a riff between Bibbs and Robinson. If so, that is kind of lame. Like I said, we can be happy for Robinson and still be glad that Bibbs is the head coach at our alma mater.

What have I written to make you say this?!?!? Why would anyone want to do something like that?!?!? They both are professionals. Shouting out an assistant on his way out for the EXCELLENT job he did is creating a riff? This isn't Kee leaving. This is a core member of one of the most successful programs that the school is ever had. Why is it so touchy to publicly say he's great..........on the way out? I purposely never said anything for 2 years, so how is that creating a riff? Jesus, you all are something sometimes.

Bigboy are you even reading what everyone else is posting on this thread? It sounds like you got an idea that everyone was hating on Robinson and you wouldn't let anyone change your mind about it. Why?
I didn't even know the guy was leaving until you started this thread. You were the one who said this is the "beginning of the end" and implying that Bibbs will never be the same.
How can I get touchy because someone calls Robinson great ... when you can see by my previous post that I AM THE ONE CALLING HIM GREAT.
I honestly don't understand where you are coming from right now. It must be pretty lonely to have a one-person argument. No one else here is debating that Robinson was a great coach. Everyone wishes him nothing but the best. How many times can we say that for you to comprehend it?
Seriously, what is the problem?

Started at home base and now we're in left field. It's simple.
No problems. No riffs. Bibbs created a great coach. Program will be good no matter what. He's gone. Good luck.
Done.
lol, dang.

everybody adores coach robinson and we all wish him well! after all, he's family! but to suggest bibbs' program will digress if robinson leaves is a very "naive" statement. as some have already pointed out, robinson wasn't on bibbs' staff when she dominated the swac at grambling. and robinson wasn't on bibbs' staff when she dominated the meac at hampton. yes, he's been on her staff for the last 4 years at a&t, but bibbs has been a successful coach for over 20 years. bibbs "dominated" the meac and swac for at least 16 years without the help of robinson. so to tie bibbs' success to robinson is "groundless". but then again, i shouldn't be surprised considering the source...

All of you have totally taken what I was saying out of context. Sorry, I think it's just a case of my reputation preceding me.
This is not about Bibbs. She's great. She's been great. The way it looks, she will always be great. This has nothing to do with what she's done and will continue to do. OK. I hope that is clear. I aree with ALL OF YOU on Bibbs. OK As a matter of fact oldeschool, I had to back you down earlier in the year.
This is about how good enough Robinson was to take how good she already was/is to levels that even she hadn't reached before.
If you can't understand what I'm saying now, I'm sorry. Just understand that I am not creating a riff or even criticizing the woman. Just understand that and I think we'll be ok.
