Emily Robbins enters her second season on the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball staff in 2026-27. Head coach Fred Chmiel announced the addition of Robbins to his staff as Director of Player Personnel in June of 2025.
Robbins came to BGSU from fellow Mid-American Conference member Western Michigan University.
“Emily is well versed in the sport of women’s basketball, the growth and care of student athletes and the day-to-day operations of a MAC University,” said Chmiel at the time of the hiring. “She will be a great asset to current and former student athletes.”
In her first year on the staff, Robbins helped the Falcons to an overall record of 17-14 and a Mid-American Conference ledger of 9-9. BGSU went 12-3 inside the Stroh Center, outscoring opponents by more than 16 points per game in home contests. The Falcons had two players selected to the All-MAC Team, and BG boasted the MAC's Defensive Player of the Year.
Prior to joining the Falcons, Robbins spent the previous four years in a full-time role at WMU after joining the women’s basketball staff in September of 2021. She was the Broncos’ director of operations, performing a plethora of day-to-day duties in that role.
“I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Western Michigan, where I learned and grew so much both personally and professionally,” said Robbins at the time of the hiring. “I’m excited to bring that experience with me as I begin this new chapter at Bowling Green, and want to thank Coach Chmiel for the opportunity and for his trust in me.”
Robbins spent the bulk of a six-plus year span at WMU, her alma mater. She was a student manager for coach Shane Clipfell’s women’s basketball team from 2019-21 while finishing her undergraduate degree, and also worked in the Office of Resident Life as well as with the athletics facilities staff.
She completed an internship with the Kalamazoo Growlers, a summer collegiate baseball team, and also worked at the Kalamazoo Country Club.
Robbins, a Kalamazoo native, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Tourism and Travel Services Management from WMU in 2021, with a double minor in general business and event management.
