Adam Williams begins his first season with the Herd this year as a men's basketball assistant coach after being hired in June of 2022.
"Adam Williams' addition to our coaching staff gives us an exciting young basketball coach who is one of our own," D'Antoni said. "Adam is not just a former Marshall basketball player who started his coaching career here, but he comes from a family with a rich basketball legacy in West Virginia. We are very happy to welcome Adam and his family back to Huntington."
Williams is a former Marshall men's basketball player and a native of West Virginia. He also coached in the Mountain State, serving as the head coach at Salem University. Williams played for the Thundering Herd for two seasons – 2007-08 and 2008-09 – and played in 59 games (11 starts) before working as a graduate assistant for former Marshall coach and current Stetson coach Donnie Jones.
Prior to his return to Marshall, he was in his third season as an assistant men's basketball coach at Stetson. He was the first hire of Stetson's head coach Donnie Jones.
At Salem, Williams inherited a program which won four games in the season prior to his arrival, and he slowly built the Tigers into a winner. In 2018-19, Salem posted its best record since the 2005-06 season, winning 17 games – more than the previous four seasons combined. Williams earned ECAC Coach of the Year honors that season.
Williams next spent two seasons as an assistant at West Virginia Tech (2010-12), helping lead the Golden Bears to a 21-8 finish during the 2011-12 season. Williams then joined Jones at UCF where he spent three seasons as Director of Operations (2012-15) for the Knights.
After his time in Orlando, Williams spent one season as an assistant coach at Longwood (2015-16) before landing at Salem.
Adam Williams is the son of Tex Williams, a West Virginia coaching legend who was inducted into the Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2004, Adam Williams earned the Evans Award as the top high school basketball player in West Virginia.
Williams earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Marshall in 2009. He is married to the former Megan Wojcik, also a West Virginia native. The couple has two children: Nixon, and Georgina.
