Talladega College

Tim Ward is in his first year as the top Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Talladega College. He comes to Talladega after spending last season on staff at NCAA Division II Arkansas Tech University. Prior to his time in Russellville he spent three seasons at William Woods University. In the first two seasons he served as a Graduate Assistant before being promoted to Assistant Coach in his final season. The Owls combined for 55 wins during his tenure in Fulton. 22 of those came during the 2016-2017 season when William Woods advanced to the American Midwest Conference Championship before falling to Harris-Stowe.

"I feel extremely fortunate to be able to add Tim Ward to our coaching staff," said Head Coach Chris Wright. "The guy can flat-out recruit! He has tremendous contacts across the country and is relentless in the recruiting process. He is also a great person that possesses a lot of energy and has a tireless work ethic. Coaching is in his blood, as both his parents are successful high school coaches in Missouri. He just gets it and understands what it takes to win at this level."

In addition, Ward currently serves as the 17U Coach for Team Carroll's AAU program based out of Columbia, Missouri. Six of Ward's past players have signed at Division I schools, while his team from this summer featured two Top 100 recruits, and ten players with current Division I offers.

"I would like to thank Dr. Hawkins, Coach Wright, Coach Herod, and Demond Walker for allowing me to join the coaching staff here at Talladega College," said Ward. "I'm excited to represent this great college and join a program that has such a winning tradition. I'm ready to get to work with our players and look forward to continuing the high-level of success here."
