Prairie View A&M University Athletics

Michael J. Robertson began coaching on the NCAA Division I level in 2002 at Prairie View A&M. Robertson turned that program around almost immediately. He led the Panthers to two consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championships (2006,2007). He also led Prairie View to its first SWAC Tournament appearance (2005), first SWAC Western Division title (2006) and its first NCAA Regional Championship Tournament (2006). The Panthers were also named Black College Baseball National Champions in

2006. Under Robertson’s leadership, Prairie View made four consecutive appearances in the SWAC Tournament Championship game from 2005-2008 with a pair of wins and NCAA Regional appearances in 2006 and 2007. In 2004, Robertson had a 20-win turnaround as PVAMU went from a 10-win team in 2003 to a 30-win team in 2004. The 2004 team also produced three Major League Baseball Draft picks in Jermel Lomack (15th round), Terrance Sparks (29th) and Gerald Miller (50th). Three years later, Robertson had two more draft picks off his 2007 SWAC Championship team in Michael Richard (11th) and Calvin Richard (36th). He has been recognized as the 2004 Black College Baseball.com Coach of the Year, the 2006 SWAC Coach of the Year, the 2007 Black College Baseball Coach of the Year and the 2007 SWAC Coach of the Year. Robertson's 2006 team at PVAMU was inducted into PV Hall of Fame in 2018.

A 1987 graduate of Huston-Tillotson College, Robertson also received his master’s degree in education from Prairie View A&M (1992). He is currently the Head Baseball Coach at Texas Southern University.

He is married to his lovely wife, Elaine.
