“All good things must come to an end!” The proverb dates back to  Geoffrey Chaucer in the 1300’s, meaning no positive experience, situation, or pleasure lasts forever.

It is also the perfect description of why Klint Robinson has decided to retire after 12 seasons as the Saline High School boys basketball coach. Robinson steps aside following leading Saline to the LHSAA state tournament for the first time as head coach and posting 20-plus win seasons in two of the last three years. 

During his 12-year tenure, Robison posted a 170-222 overall record, deceptive in nature because when he first arrived in 2014, he had to rebuild the Bobcat program to the level of prestige it once had. Even though he will no longer be patrolling the sidelines, Robinson will remain heavily involved at Saline High as the school’s Athletic Director and as a teacher. 

“After 12 memorable years as the head basketball coach at Saline High School, I have decided to step away from coaching. It has been a tremendous honor to work with the young men who have come through our program and to represent the Saline community.

“I am incredibly grateful for how God has blessed me during my time at Saline. Coaching has never just been about basketball, but about helping young men grow in character, discipline, and respect. I truly believe God placed me here for a purpose, and I am thankful for the opportunity He gave me to be a small part of so many players’ lives.

I want to thank the players, assistant coaches, school administration, and the many loyal fans who have supported our team over the years. The relationships built, the lessons learned, and the memories made on and off the court will always mean a great deal to me.

Saline High School is a special place, and I am proud of what our program has accomplished during my time here. More importantly, I am proud of the young men who wore the Bobcat jersey and the way they represented our school and community.

While stepping away is not easy, I look forward to spending more time with my family and continuing to support Saline athletics. I will always be thankful for the years God allowed me to coach and serve this community.

Thank you to the entire Saline family for the love and support over the past 12 years. It has truly been a blessing.”
