Stanley Robinson, known for making spectacular plays for the UConn men’s basketball team, died at his home in Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday. He was 32. “He was just a really, really sweet kid,” said Jim Calhoun, who recruited Robinson and coached him at UConn. “The world was harsh for him, because they weren’t all like Stanley Robinson. He was such a caring, giving person." Robinson was found dead in his home by his mother, Calhoun said. The cause of death has yet to be determined. His alma mater, Huffman High, announced his passing via Twitter. Robinson, 6-foot-9, was known to friends and fans as “Sticks,” and he was extremely popular with Huskies fans. He played at UConn from 2006-2010, an era which included a trip to the Final Four in 2009. Robinson played in 126 games, averaged 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds, scoring 1,231 points. He scored in double figures in 34 consecutive games, and always provided highlight-reel dunks and put-backs. His windmill dunk against Syracuse during the six-OT game at the Big East tournament in ‘09 is best remembered. “He was certainly one of the great athletes I’ve coached,” Calhoun said. “He just could never get the break he needed.”

One of the best? I don’t think so...
All of his dunks were 2 hand put backs, and he was 6’9”
