Williamson moves from Dakota Wesleyan to Dakota State
He led the Tigers for one season in which he went 20-10 and guided them to the NAIA National Tournament — a first for the program since 2020. DWU went 13-7 in the Great Plains Athletic Conference.
He boasts a 103-52 record as head coach, which includes the one year with DWU and five seasons Saint Katherine (Calif.).
'As we continue to develop our men's basketball program, our goal is to become a consistent presence on the national stage,' DSU Athletics Director Bud Postma said in the school's release. 'We believe Coach Williamson has the vision, experience, and leadership to take us there.'
Williamson also has college coaching stops at Dixie State, Cal State San Marcos, Bemidji State, Minnesota Duluth and Glendale (Ariz.) Community College.
'I'm excited to be here at Dakota State,' said Williamson. 'I can't wait to get ingrained in the community and get out and meet all the alumni. I really do want to get engaged with our alumni and get them back in. I'm looking forward to this opportunity at Dakota State.'
The position at DSU became opened last week when Darren Tighe left Madison to become the head coach at U-Mary in the NSIC.
