From 1987 to 1990 he was a teacher/coach in Oak Forest, Illinois, at Oak Forest Christian Academy. In 2001, he pioneered the Martial Ball training system, "The Martial Arts of Basketball.”

Coach Williams has also coached the West Central Storm AAU basketball team for three years. The Storm were ranked 10th in the state’s toughest division. Eight of those players went on to play college ball, six at Ridgewater Community College in Willmar, Minnesota, where they placed third in the National JUCO tournament.
