Hall of Fame
In five seasons with the Buccaneers, Les Robinson took ETSU to two NCAA tournaments, securing a berth in the “Big Dance” with a Southern Conference Tournament title in 1989. The 1989 squad went on to nearly pull off the biggest upset in tournament history, pushing top-seeded Oklahoma to the very brink before falling 72-71. A victory would have made the Bucs the first 16 seed to ever defeat a number one seed. Robinson ended his tenure at ETSU with an 81-70 record with two SoCOn tournament tiles and one regular season crown. He went on to become the head coach at N.C. State and is currently the Director of Athletics at The Citadel.
