Robertson has spent the last five seasons
(2000-2005) as the number one assistant of
Division I Delaware State University. There
he helped guide Delaware State to an 82-64
overall record and assisted in leading the
Lady Hornets to three Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference (MEAC) Championship game appearances
in five years.
Doug is no stranger to Bowie
State, having served as assistant coach of
the Lady Bulldogs under then head coach Ed
Davis. During his Bowie State tenure, Robertson
was instrumental in the team’s success, as the Lady Bulldogs compiled
an overall record of 100-18, earned three consecutive Central
Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) championships and
four berths into the NCAA Division II Tournament.
“I’m
excited about the opportunity to be back at my alma mater and
back with all the familiar faces that I remember during my
first tenure here,” said Robertson. “We had a successful
six years the first time around as the Recruiting Coordinator
and Assistant Coach and look forward to the challenge of getting
the Lady Bulldogs to that elite status.”
Robertson, a native of Baltimore (MD), earned a bachelor’s
from Bowie State in 1995 and is currently pursuing a master’s
of public administration. He was a member of the Bowie State
Bulldogs men’s basketball team for one season (1992-1993).
Robertson is married to the former Danielle Parks and they
are the proud parents of a one year old son, Austin.
