Nicholas Stromberg Robinson (born November 2, 1979) is an American college basketball coach who is currently the director of basketball operations for the University of Kentucky. Robinson previously served as an assistant at BYU starting in 2019 before following Head Coach Mark Pope to Kentucky in 2024.[2]
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Robinson graduated from Liberty High School in 1998.[3] After high school, Robinson went on a two-year LDS mission to Maceió, Brazil.[3] In 2000, Robinson enrolled at Stanford University, where he would play on the Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team from 2001 to 2005, under coach Mike Montgomery in the first three years and Trent Johnson in his last. He was team captain in his junior and senior years, including the 2003–04 season in which Stanford went 30–2, a season which featured a game-winning shot from him against Arizona.[4][5] Robinson averaged 8.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in his senior season.[5] Robinson graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in political science and master's degree in sociology.[6]
