Willie Trevathan is in his second season as an assistant coach at UT Martin.
In his tenure at UT Martin, the Skyhawks have won one Ohio Valley Conference regular season title and appeared in 2021 Women’s NIT.
He coached two All-OVC first team selections in Chelsey Perry and Dasia Young. Perry was named the 2021 OVC Player of the Year while becoming the program’s first WNBA Draft selection after being taken 26th overall by the Indiana Fever in 2021.
In his first season with the Skyhawks he oversaw a Skyhawk defense which led the league in scoring defense with 56.4 points per game and field goal percentage defense (35.4 percent). The team held three opponents to fewer than 40 points on the season – something which has been done just eight times in the program’s Division I history.
Trevathan joined the Skyhawks after a decorated coaching career at Greenfield High School where he 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.
Trevathan received his bachelor’s degree in history in 2000 from Union University where he was also a member of the golf program from 1996-2000. He is married to the former Leah Waddell and has three children, Halle, Lila and Lane.
