San Antonio's TMI Episcopal has appointed former NBA Coach of the Year and Spurs alumnus Monty Williams as the new head boys basketball coach. Williams, who has previously coached the Phoenix Suns and the Detroit Pistons, succeeds Bruce Bowen, another Spurs legend, and brings a wealth of professional coaching experience to the high school level.
Coach Williams will be joining the private school along with his son, Elijah Williams, who is regarded as a top prospect in Texas for the class of 2026, according to KSAT. Elijah is a five-star recruit with scholarship offers from eight notable programs. He has showcased his skills on courts associated with his father's coaching roles in Arizona and Detroit. He will now play under his father's leadership, alongside Ozmel and Ojani Bowen, and Tim Duncan's son, Dra.
The hiring of Monty Williams signifies TMI Episcopal's focus on improving their basketball program. Williams has a strong background, having led the Suns to an NBA Finals appearance and earned the NBA Coach of the Year award in 2022, as reported by KENS 5. His experience in the NBA and his connections to the Spurs organization, where he was Vice President of Basketball Operations, offer a level of expertise that is uncommon in high school programs.
