Robert Ehsan

Robert Hassan Ehsan (born May 3, 1982) is an American college basketball coach that is currently an assistant coach for the Stanford Cardinal. From 2016–2020, he was the head men's basketball coach at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

A native of Sacramento, California, Ehsan was a four-year player at UC Davis. He was a team captain as a senior in 2005. Ehsan served as an assistant coach at the University of Maryland from 2008 to 2011. When Gary Williams resigned, Ehsan was named interim head coach. He spent a season as an assistant at Virginia Tech before becoming an assistant coach at UAB in 2012.

Ehsan was hired as UAB head coach on April 4, 2016, replacing Jerod Haase. Ehsan took over a team that went 26–7 the year before and lost one senior, Robert Brown.

Ehsan was fired on March 13, 2020, after compiling a record of 76–57.

On April 27, 2021, Ehsan joined Haase at Stanford University as an assistant coach.
