The school announced Williams' hiring on Instagram, highlighting his extensive coaching experience and the unique opportunity for him to coach his sons.

Williams has a deep connection to San Antonio, having played for the Spurs and previously served as their vice president of basketball operations.

His career in basketball has been marked by significant achievements, both as a player and a coach, making his new role a noteworthy chapter in his professional journey.

Williams' firing came as a surprise given his previous accolades, including a successful tenure with the Phoenix Suns where he won the NBA Coach of the Year award for the 2021-22 season.

Prior to coaching the Pistons, Williams had notable coaching stints with the Suns and other teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Philadelphia 76ers.

He holds an impressive coaching record of 194-115 in regular season games and 27-19 in the postseason, including an NBA Finals appearance in 2021.

Monty Williams, recognized as one of the top coaches in the NBA, was hired as the head coach of the Detroit Pistons for the 2023-24 season.

This transition provides Williams with an opportunity to rekindle his passion for coaching while working closely with his sons, Elijah and Micah.

At TMI Episcopal, he will coach Elijah Williams, a highly regarded prospect ranked 18th in the 2026 class.

Unfortunately, the Pistons struggled significantly, finishing the season with the worst record in the league at just 14 wins, which ultimately led to Williams' dismissal.

He was fired in June 2024 after only one season, despite being owed $67.5 million over the next five years due to his six-year contract.

Following his dismissal, Williams has accepted a new role as the head coach at TMI Episcopal prep school in San Antonio, allowing him to step away from the high-pressure NBA environment.
