Tim Morris enters his second season as an assistant coach with the Utah men’s program in 2022-23 as member of Craig Smith’s staff.
Morris’ first season with the Runnin’ Utes saw success early on as Utah opened the 2021-22 campaign 5-0 that was capped off by a Sunshine Slam Tournament championship. Working mainly with the guards, Morris helped Lazar Stefanovic earn Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors at the end of the year.
Silver Waves Media once again recognized Morris’ abilities and named him to their most impactful high major assistant coaches list in May of 2022.
Morris spent the last two seasons at Cincinnati under John Brannen. In his first season with the Bearcats, the team went 20-10 with a 13-5 conference record and earned the top-seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament before COVID-19 shut everything down. UC then made it to the AAC Tournament title game this past season before falling to eventual Final Four participant, Houston. Morris then served as the interim head coach for the Bearcats before joining the Utes in Salt Lake City.
In April 2020, Morris was named to the Silver Waves Media 50 Impactful High Major Assistant Coaches List. The recognition honors a select group of current high major assistant coaches in Division I men's basketball who have made an impact on the game according to the site's research and consultation with athletics directors, presidents, search firms and numerous influencers in the sport.
Morris was at Northern Kentucky (2017-19) for three seasons alongside Brannen before joining his staff at Cincinnati as well. He helped guide the Norse to three-consecutive postseason appearances, two NCAA Tournament (2017, 2019) berths and an NIT (2018) appearance, with an overall record of 72-30. NKU also won a pair of Horizon League regular-season championships (2018-19) and a pair of conference tournament titles (2017, 2019) in that stretch.
Prior to his time at NKU, Morris served as the director of player development at Nevada in 2015-16 under head coach Eric Musselman. The Wolf Pack won the College Basketball Invitational that season and finished 24-14 overall.
Morris also worked as a graduate assistant at Alabama under Anthony Grant, who is currently the head men’s basketball coach at Dayton, for three seasons in two different stints before earning his master's degree in human performance from the University of Alabama. He got his start as an assistant coach at Kennesaw State (2011-12) between his two stints in Tuscaloosa.
A 2008 graduate of Stanford, Morris played three seasons for head coaches Mike Montgomery and Trent Johnson where he earned a degree in English literature. He went on to play his senior season at Washington for Lorenzo Romar. He began his professional career after college with FC Bayern Munich in 2008-09 before an injury forced him to retire.
Morris is married to Morgan and have three kids, twins Ryan (daughter) and Simeon (son) and daughter Torrin.
