Nebraska has hired Amy Williams as its new women's basketball coach, Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst announced Monday.
Williams will be formally introduced at 11 a.m. ET Tuesday in a press conference at the Hendricks Training Complex.
"Amy is a very skilled and experienced basketball coach who has a track record of success both on and off the court and is an ideal fit for Nebraska," Eichorst said in a school release.
Williams, who replaces Connie Yori, played at Nebraska from 1994-1998 and graduated in 1998 with a degree in biology and mathematics. The former Husker comes to Nebraska with 18 years of coaching experience, including nine years as a head coach, the last four spent at South Dakota.
After graduating from Nebraska, Williams served as a Graduate Assistant Coach at the University of Nebraska-Kearney and then had assistant coaching positions at Texas-San Antonio (2000-2001), Oklahoma State (2001-2005) and Tulsa (2005-2007).
"My family and I are thrilled to be joining this outstanding University and the Lincoln community," Williams said.
