SAN ANTONIO -- Former NBA coach of the year Monty Williams will take his skill-set to the high school level as coach of TMI Episcopal prep school in San Antonio, where he will coach his sons, Elijah and Micah.

TMI Episcopal announced the Williams hire Sunday on its Instagram account.

"Coach Williams brings extensive coaching experience, including his most recent roles in the NBA as the head coach of the Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns," the post read. "He and his wife, Lisa, recently moved to San Antonio and are TMI parents to Elijah, class of '26 and Micah, class of '29. We are thrilled to welcome coach Williams to this position and look forward to the future of our basketball program under his leadership."

Williams most recently served as the Pistons, which fired him after one season back in June with $65 million remaining on his contract. Williams arrived in Detroit after he was fired in 2023 from the Phoenix Suns. The coach originally planned to sit out the 2023-24 season after his wife was diagnosed with cancer, but the Pistons lured him in with a six-year $78 million contract. Williams finished his lone season in Detroit with a record of 14-68.

In Phoenix, Williams played an instrumental role in resurrecting the franchise. Williams won NBA Coach of the Year for 2021-22 and ended his tenure with the Suns owning a regular season record of 194-115 (.628) in the regular season and 27-19 in the postseason with one NBA Finals appearance (2021).

Previous coaching stops as an assistant coach for Williams include San Antonio, Portland, Oklahoma City, and Philadelphia.

Williams served in 2016 as the Spurs' vice-president of basketball operations.
