Dan Williams
Men’s Basketball Head Coach 1986-2003
The first head coach in the program’s history, Williams is men’s basketball’s winningest coach, with 375 victories over the course of 17 seasons at Holy Family. Williams built the program from the bottom to become one of the elite city college programs during its NAIA era. In just his third season, the Tigers finished 30-9 and went on to the KAC Tournament Finals, winning the NAIA District 19 Championship. Subsequently, Holy Family appeared in its first-ever NAIA National Tournament. The Tigers would appear in the NAIA National Tournament four more times under Williams, and the team’s 30 victories in the 1988-89 season still represent the most in program history. Williams coached 14 NAIA All-Americans and 18 1,000-point scorers.  He was named Coach of the Year 12 times during the course of his career.
