MARTIN, Tenn. – University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball head coach Kevin McMillan has announced the hiring of Willie Trevathan as an assistant coach. Trevathan will assume the position on August 1.
"I am very excited to add a coach of Willie's caliber to our program," McMillan said. "Not only is Willie a great friend, he has proven to be a great leader and coach. His philosophy and character will fit seamlessly into the culture of our program."
Trevathan joins the Skyhawks after a decorated coaching career at Greenfield High School where he has served as head coach since 2003. While leading the Lady Yellowjackets, Trevathan lifted the team to new heights beginning with its first district championship in nearly 40 years before later winning the school's first girls state title in 2018. His teams made three consecutive state tournament appearances from 2018-2020 while boasting five appearances overall – including four as a girls basketball coach (2006, 2018, 2019, 2020) and one time as a boys basketball coach (2004).
The 2018 State of Tennessee Girls Basketball Coach of the Year and All-West Tennessee Coach of the Year, Trevathan spent 19 years as a coach, teacher and administrator at Greenfield High School. While at the helm he posted a 383-160 record (70.5 percent) while winning seven district coach of the year honors. Most recently the Lady Yellowjackets were a perfect 34-0 before seeing their season abruptly end prior to the Class A state semifinals due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
