Minnesota-Duluth hires assistant

Kevin Williamson spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach under Matt Bowen at Bemidji State University and now will work in that same capacity with his old boss at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

The 27-year old Williamson served as an assistant coach in 2009-10 at Glendale Community College (Phoenix, Ariz.) prior to his arrival in Bemidji. Before that, he was employed as a physical education teacher and boy’s basketball coach at Cathedral Catholic High School, where, during his one season of service, guided the Dons to a 17-13 overall record and a spot in the 2009 San Diego Section Division III title game. Williamson’s prep head coaching resume also includes a one-year stint (2007-08) at Kofa High School in Yuma, Ariz. Under his watch, the Kings set a school single-season record for wins, going 22-11 on the year, captured the Gila Valley Region championship and gained a Arizona 5A II State Tournament semifinal round berth — the first ever by any Yuma public high school. For his efforts, Williamson was chosen the Gila Valley Region Coach of the Year.
