After 248 wins and seven postseason appearances, North Carolina A&T women’s basketball head coach Tarrell Robinson was finally recognized as the best among his peers.
Robinson, on Tuesday, was named CAA Coach of the Year, the first in his 13 seasons as coach.
“I’m overwhelmed with emotion receiving this recognition,” said Robinson. “Thank you to all my colleagues who selected me. Thank you for pushing us to improve every game, win or lose. The CAA doesn’t just have some of the best coaches in the country but also some of the best people. I’m thankful to compete against coaches who can compete during the game and support you right after the final buzzer.”
The Aggies came into the 2024-25 season as CAA favorites, marking the sixth time in his 13-year career his team came in as conference favorites.
Despite high expectations, including being preseason No. 17 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll, the Aggies got off to a 2-7 start partly due to a schedule that included two ACC schools and three teams ranked in the mid-major poll.
A&T finished the regular season 17-3 after its 2-7 start. Overall, the Aggies head into the 2025 CAA Tournament with a 19-10 overall record, with a 15-3 conference record.
