Steve Robison has stepped down as McCallie School’s varsity basketball coach after just two seasons in that role.

Robison, who had been a Blue Tornado assistant for the four years prior to taking over the program, announced his decision to the players Monday afternoon.

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity that I have had to coach and teach at McCallie over the last six years,” Robison said in a press release. “I am excited for the future of the basketball program, but I just know that it is the right time for me to retire from coaching.”

Robison guided the Blue Tornado to a 9-16 record in 2022-23 and a 17-8 mark this past season that included winning the Times Free Press Best of Preps tournament in December.

“I am grateful for Coach Robison and his leadership and service,” McCallie Head of School Lee Burns said. “He is a man of great character who led our basketball program well.”
