Monty Williams
NBA Coach
In his own words…
On the Court
Monty Williams won an NBA championship as a coaching staff intern with the San Antonio Spurs. Since then, he has held several coaching roles with the Portland Trailblazers, New Orleans Pelicans (where he was the youngest NBA head coach at the age of 38), Oklahoma City Thunder, and Phoenix Suns. In addition to his NBA career, Williams also worked as an assistant coach with the U.S. national team in 2016.
Off the Court
On February 10, 2016, Williams' wife, Ingrid, died from injuries sustained from a car crash, leaving behind Monty and their five children together. Through this tragedy, Monty has relied on his faith in God to sustain he and his family. In all things, he reminds us that, “God is good.”
