Head coach Terry Williams prepares for his eleventh season at the helm of Corban College’s women’s basketball program.
After a seven-year hiatus away from the bench, Terry returned two seasons ago and is hoping to add to a coaching resume that includes two straight National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) national titles in 1995 & 1996.
Williams has accumulated an overall record of 169-155 in ten seasons as the leader of the Warriors. During the 2000-01 season, Terry coached then-Western Baptist to a school-record 11-game winning streak from January 7th-February 2nd, as well as leading the program to its first-ever Cascade Collegiate Conference championship and a trip to the NAIA national tournament.
“Playing for a team of all Christian athletes dedicated to a common goal of competing at the highest level possible is one of the most dynamic experiences a person can have,” Terry said. “Our hope is to develop the total person and Corban is the perfect place to accomplish that.”
A graduate of Western Baptist College in 1974, Terry played both basketball and baseball for the Warriors. Terry was also a successful AAU coach in the Salem-Keizer area for many years before accepting his first collegiate position in 1994.
Terry worked as the Director of Residence Life from nine years (1997-2006) at Corban before retiring from that position due to health reasons.
Terry and his wife, Debbie, currently reside in Salem. The couple has three children (Matt, Joel, & Allison), who all attended Corban, and seven grandchildren (Josiah, Jonah, Julia, Jaden, Katelyn, Parker, & Talen). Terry’s son, Matt was an assistant coach for the Warriors for three seasons, while his other son, Joel, competed for the Warriors in both soccer (1995) and baseball (1996-98) before moving to the Sacramento area where he currently works as a teacher and coach. Terry’s lone daughter, Allison, played four years of basketball at then-Western Baptist from 1998-2002 and is now a teacher and varsity girls’ basketball coach at nearby Sprague High School. Terry’s daughter-in-law, Erica, played four years of basketball (1996-2001) for the Warriors before serving as an assistant coach for two seasons (2001-02 & 2007-08).
