A young man definitely worth keeping an eye on.
For whatever reason, there just hasn't been that many young players enter the bball coaching ranks with good ties to MT. Football has seen former players and asst coaches start to make pretty big moves in coaching, but not so much in bball. Hopefully that will start to change.

He is doing well... excerpt:
Williams has been the head men's basketball coach at fellow NJCAA Division I program University of South Carolina-Salkehatchie for the past three years. In the season that was just cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indians posted a 27-4 record and were the NJCAA Division I Region X Champions. They qualified for the NJCAA National Tournament in Hutchinson for only the second time in school history, earning a first round bye with a #7 seed in this years tournament. After the successful season, Williams was named the Region X Coach of the Year for his efforts in leading the Indians. Williams was the first coach in school history to put together back to back 20 win seasons and he topped that by setting a school record for wins in his third season.

I have my eye on Brian Burg. I believe he was the director of ops here under Kermit for a few years. He is now an assistant under Chris Beard at Texas Tech who I think is a top 5 coach in America.

Brian was hired today as head coach of Georgia Southern. I remember well a couple of short visits with him in the cramped quarters of the locker room where he would run his daily assignments as director of ops. Happy to see him get this opportunity! Inherits a program that has had three straight 20 win seasons.
