TicketsTim Morris is in his second season as an assistant coach at Cincinnati after joining the program prior to the start of the 2019-20 campaign.
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.
Prior to joining the Cincinnati program, Morris served as an assistant coach at Northern Kentucky for three seasons (2017-19) under current Bearcats head coach John Brannen. With the Norse, Morris helped direct NKU to two NCAA Tournament appearances (2017, 2019), one NIT appearance (2018), two Horizon League regular-season championships (2018, 2019) and a pair of conference tournament titles (2017, 2019). During the last three seasons, the Norse posted a 72-30 overall record.
Before his stint 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, finishing 24-14 overall.
Morris also worked as a graduate assistant at Alabama for three seasons where he earned a master's degree in human performance.
His first assistant coaching position came at Kennesaw State during the 2011-12 season.
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 played his senior season for his cousin, head coach Lorenzo Romar, at Washington.
Morris played professionally overseas for FC Bayern Munich in 2008-09 before an injury forced him to retire.
Morris and his wife Morgan are the proud parents of twins, Ryan and Simeon.
