Before his retirement, Williams joined the Philadelphia 76ers and had his last season in 2003.

 

Two years after retiring from his playing career, Williams was hired Nate McMillan in 2005 as assistant coach for the Portland Trail Blazers. But on June 2010, Williams was offered a three-year contract to be the head coach of the Hornets.
