Williams’ first collegiate coaching role was at his alma mater as assistant women’s basketball coach under Hall of Famer Joy Scruggs, where he coached Hall of Famer Kelly Smith Houseright — a three-time All-ODAC and All-State First-Teamer who earned both ODAC Player of the Year and VaSID State Player of the Year honors. He also brings over 15 years of collegiate and high school coaching experience in cross country and track & field.
