Robin Muller - Director of Basketball Operations

Robin Muller is in her fourth year as Director of Basketball Operations. Muller organizes the team and coaching staff and allows them to keep their energies concentrated on the court.

Muller's responsibilities include coordinating team travel, organizing and managing all summer camps, monitoring the team's academic progress, supervising all non-coaching personnel and assisting Coach Walvius in her daily schedule. She also serves as the radio analyst on the broadcasts of South Carolina's games and served in the same function for Comcast Sports Southeast's television broadcast of the 2006 meetings between South Carolina and Georgia and South Carolina and Tennessee.

She joined the South Carolina staff after working as a women's basketball television color commentator for three years. Muller appeared on ACC, MAC and Southern Conference game telecasts for Fox Sports and ESPN.

Serving as the head women's basketball coach at Winthrop University for eight years (1993-2000), Muller led the Lady Eagles to their most successful run in school history. Under her direction, Winthrop achieved their only Big South Championship appearance in Winthrop history in 1996, before falling to Radford, 85-83. This success earned Muller the Big South Coach of the Year award.

During the summer of 1993, Muller was invited to serve as the head coach of the elite Athletes in Action women's basketball team that spent five weeks touring and playing in Moscow, Russia.

Before arriving at Winthrop, the Ohio native spent five seasons on the staff at Virginia Commonwealth, including three seasons on Susan Walvius' VCU staff.

She earned her bachelor's degree in biology from Kenyon College in 1985. A four-year letterwinner in basketball, Muller was named team captain in her last two years and worked as the student athletic trainer. After graduation, she coached for one year at Laurel High School (Shaker Heights, Ohio) before returning to earn her master's degree in sports management from Georgia Southern. While completing her degree requirements, Muller worked as a graduate assistant with the women's basketball program and helped the team achieve its first ever back-to-back winning seasons.
