圣安东尼奥——NBA 年度最佳教练蒙蒂·威廉姆斯 (Monty Williams) 将带着他的执教才能来到高中篮球赛场，担任圣安东尼奥 TMI Episcopal 学校的教练，执教他的儿子伊莱贾 (Elijah) 和迈卡 (Micah) 的球队。
TMI Episcopal 学校周日在 Instagram 上宣布了聘用威廉姆斯的决定。
“威廉姆斯教练拥有丰富的执教经验，包括他最近担任底特律活塞队和菲尼克斯太阳队的主教练，”帖子中写道。“他和他的妻子丽莎最近搬到了圣安东尼奥，他们的儿子伊莱贾是 2026 届的学生，迈卡是 2029 届的学生。我们很高兴地欢迎威廉姆斯教练担任这一职位，并期待着在他的领导下我们篮球项目的未来。”
威廉姆斯最近担任活塞队的主教练，但他在今年 6 月被球队解雇，当时他的合同还剩下 6500 万美元。威廉姆斯是在 2023 年被菲尼克斯太阳队解雇后加盟活塞队的。这位教练原本计划在 2023-24 赛季休息，因为他的妻子被诊断出患有癌症，但活塞队以一份为期六年、价值 7800 万美元的合同吸引了他。威廉姆斯在底特律的唯一一个赛季以 14 胜 68 负的战绩结束。
在菲尼克斯，威廉姆斯在球队复兴中发挥了重要作用。威廉姆斯在 2021-22 赛季获得了 NBA 年度最佳教练，并在太阳队期间取得了常规赛 194 胜 115 负（胜率 0.628）和季后赛 27 胜 19 负的战绩，并一次打进 NBA 总决赛（2021 年）。

Monty Williams to coach sons at San Antonio prep school
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 in San Antonio, where he will coach his sons, Elijah and Micah.
TMI Episcopal announced the Williams hire Sunday on Instagram.
“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 coach of the Pistons, who fired him after one season 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 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 records of 194-115 (.628) in the regular season and 27-19 in the postseason with one NBA Finals appearance (2021).
His previous stops as an assistant coach include San Antonio, Portland, Oklahoma City and Philadelphia.
Williams served in 2016 as the Spurs’ vice president of basketball operations.
