Travis Williams was named the 16th head coach for the Tigers men’s basketball program on April 13, 2012.

During his first season at the helm of the Tigers, Williams led his team to an 18-15 record and berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. He also coached Patrick Miller, Kellen Thornton and Robert Covington to all-conference teams. Covington later earned an NBA contract under Williams’s tute-lage.

Williams, a native of Tifton, Ga., served as an assistant for previous TSU head coach John Cooper from 2009-2012. Cooper left on April 6 after accepting the head coaching position at Miami (Ohio).

Williams helped restore a winning attitude to the Tigers’ program. The Big Blue recorded just nine wins in 2009-10, while improving to 14 victories in 2010-11. In his last season as an assistant coach, the Tigers completed a 20-13 mark - the most for any TSU program since 1978-79. It also marked the school’s first winning season in 16 years.

As the first assistant, Williams was involved with every aspect of the program. His major priority was the recruitment and development of student-athletes, both academ-ically and athletically. Williams helped with practice, game day strategies, assignments and scout-ing reports. He also maintained day-to-day operations. Williams worked with student-athletes in-dividually, while scheduling prac-tice and workout sessions. He co-ordinated all community service initiatives and served as the team’s academic liaison.

When he joined the Tigers in the summer of 2009, Williams brought 10 years of coaching experience as an assistant and head coach.

This marks Williams’ third time taking the reins of a basketball program. Williams served as head coach of the Dongguan Parklane Snow Wolf Professional Basketball Club in China’s National Basketball

League (NBL). He led the team to an 11-2 preseason record before leav-ing prior to the 2009 regular season. Williams was hired by the Dongguan Snow Wolf to develop the game of basketball in China directly after the 2008 Olympics. He facilitated play-er development, conditioning and game day strategies.

In 2004, Williams received his first head coach appointment at Fort Valley State University in Georgia. He led the Wildcats to a pair of win-ning seasons during his tenure. Wil-liams guided FVSU to an 18-12 re-cord during the 2006-07 campaign. At the conclusion of the season, the Wildcats ranked 10th in the Division II South Region poll, making it to the Southern Intercollegiate Athlet-ic Conference (SIAC) Championship game. FVSU’s 18 wins were the most since the 1998-99 season.

After a three-season stint at FVSU, Williams served as an assistant for one season at Mercer University (2007-08). That season, Mercer defeated No.17 ranked University of Southern California.

Williams’ coaching resume includes stops as an associate head coach with the Southern Crescent Lightning of the World Basketball Association (2004) and an assistant position at Chicago State (2003-2004).

From 1999-2003 he served as assistant at his alma mater Georgia State. During his tenure with the Panthers, the program produced three conference regular season championships and one conference tournament championship. While at GSU, the Panthers defeat-ed two Top-25 teams (No.15 St. Josephs and No.23 Georgia) and produced an upset over No. 6 seed Wisconsin in the 2001 NCAA Tournament marking the first 20-win season in school history, finishing 29-5.

Williams hosted “In the Loop”, an all-access cable sports show covering all levels of athletics throughout central Georgia. He has also served as a motivational speaker and educational consultant with his “If You Believe, You Can Achieve” Power Hour series.

Williams is currently a member of National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and Black Coaches and Adminis-trators Association (BCAA). As a player, he scored more than 1,000 career points at GSU. He graduated with a Bachelor’s in business management in 1995 and a Master’s in Sports Administration in 1999. While in college at GSU, Williams in-terned with the National Football League (NFL) Players Asso-ciation as a research intern.

He is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc. and the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville. Williams is married to Nikkya Wil-liams. The two celebrated the birth of their daughter Teagan Loure’ Ann in Nov. of 2011 and Travis Jr. in Feb. of 2012.

Before his College of Charleston term, Betts spent seven seasons (1990-97) as an assistant at South Carolina State under longtime head coach, and former TSU head coach, Cy Alexan-der.

Betts, a Madison Heights, Va., native, grad uated with a Bachelor of Science degree in phys-ical education from Roanoke College in 1990. As a player, he was a four-year letterwinner at Roa-noke and led the Maroons to the NCAA Division III playoffs in the 1986-87 season.
