Robinson Out at Oregon State (AP) — Oregon State has fired Craig Robinson after six seasons without making the NCAA tourna ment. The brother-in-law of President Barack Obama, Robinson had a solid start in Corvallis, taking a program that had lost 21 straight Pac-12 games to an 18-win season in 2008-09. T he B eav ers' resu lts under Robinson were uneven after that, with Oregon State finishing no bet ter than fifth in the Pac-12 in his six seasons, including 10th this year. "I want to thank Coach Robinson and his family for their contribu tions to Oregon State University," Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis said in a statement. "This Oregon State University Coach Craig Robinson, the brother-in-law to President Barack Obama, was fired Monday after failing to take his team to the NCAA tourna ment after six seasons. (KATU photo) was a difficult decision, but after further evaluation, I believe it is in the best interests of our student- athletes, our basketball program and our University." Oregon State won 21 games in 2011-12, but went 7-11 in confer ence to miss the NCAA tourna ment. After going 14-18 in 2012-13, the Beavers were 16-16 this season, in cluding 8-10 in the Pac-12, and lost to Radford at home in the CBI. Robinson, First Lady Michelle Obama's brother, went 94-105 over all with Oregon State after spending two seasons as Brown's head coach. He also served as an assistant at Northwestern under Bill Carmody, an assistant coach at Princeton during Robinson's senior season as a player. Oregon State has not reached the NCAA tournament since 1990.
