You are going to see a pretty big shift in the boys program at TCA. Not a knock to Northcutt, cause I think he did a good job with what he had, but this will be a game changer. Not only is Williams a good coach, but talent will seek out TCA because he is there. He's done a lot of AAU coaching over the years, and I've already heard some of those kids are wanting to come play for him. His son, who is a freshman, is really good, as well.

And as mentioned in your post, an all-around great guy. He'll do a great job at the helm of the athletics program there.

Congrats to you "other" Lions!!!

Not sure that Williams is better than Northcutt at X's and O's, but he's absolutely as good at motivation and discipline as they come. He's also got that "it" factor that I used to needle Stroup about having... he'd make a great used car salesman if this coaching thing don't work out, and your numbers will show that soon.

Northcutt certainly got a lot out of what he has had there. Think he is a really good coach. Dexter will bring different strengths to the program and a different style. Certainly the home run hire that they need to be able to compete in DII.

You guys got a great one. He's a heck of a coach and a better person.

From what I understand his son is going to be a beast on the court too.

Kid can play. Needs to put some muscle on his frame, but has all the skills you'd want coming into high school. He'll make an immediate impact as a freshman.
