Nate Williams joined the staff in April of 2023 as director of player development after spending the previous season as an assistant coach at Emmanuel College.
“Nate is a high-character person who will have a tremendous impact on our student-athletes and staff,” said Perry. “The experience he has from his successful basketball journey proves just how bright of a star he is in our profession. His relentless work ethic and passion for the game of basketball brings incredible value to our program.”
During the 2024-25 season, Williams helped guide the team to its sixth Southern Conference Championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The team finished with a 19-16 overall record and a 10-8 mark in conference action. Corey Tripp and Kyler Filewich earned all-conference honors. Jackson Sivills joined Tripp on the Southern Conference All-Tournament Team, while Kyler Filewich was named the Southern Conference Tournament MVP.
