Crystal LaTresa Robinson (born January 22, 1974) is an American basketball coach and former player who is currently head girls' basketball coach at Atoka High School. She grew up in Atoka, Oklahoma, and first garnered national recognition during her collegiate career at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Professionally, Robinson played for the Colorado Xplosion of the ABL before playing in the WNBA for the New York Liberty and Washington Mystics.
After retiring from playing basketball, Robinson first became an assistant coach for the Washington Mystics in 2007, then became head coach at McAlester High School in 2009 and at the junior college level at Murray State College in Oklahoma in 2010. Robinson moved to the Division I ranks in 2013 as an assistant coach at Utah State in 2013–14 and TCU in 2014–15 before returning to her alma mater to coach girls' basketball at Atoka High School.
Robinson was raised in Atoka, Oklahoma and attended Atoka High School, where she was named a High School All-American by the WBCA. She participated in the inaugural WBCA High School All-America Game in 1992, scoring a game-high twenty-five points, and earning MVP honors.
Considered by most to be the best player to ever come out of Oklahoma, Robinson signed with NCAA power Louisiana Tech out of Atoka High School but later decided she wanted to be closer to home and transferred to Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, OK before playing a single game in Louisiana. Robinson went on to earn her bachelor's degree in health, physical education and recreation.
