Terri Williams-Flournoy is now in her fourth season at the helm of the Georgetown women's basketball team. Williams-Flournoy took over the program on Aug. 27, 2004, becoming just the sixth women's basketball head coach in the history of the program. It was a homecoming for Williams-Flournoy as she began her collegiate coaching career as an assistant coach with the Hoyas in 1992. The stint lasted until 1996 when she moved on to the University of Georgia.

In her first three seasons on the Hilltop, Williams-Flournoy compiled a 35-49 overall record. Last season, Williams-Flournoy led the Hoyas to a seven-game winning streak in November and early December, the program's longest winning streak since the 1993 campaign. In 2005, GU closed out the regular season by winning six of its last nine games, finished tied for sixth in the league standings, and forward Kieraah Marlow was named to the All-BIG EAST Freshman Team. Marlow has since been named All-BIG EAST Second Team in consecutive seasons.

Williams-Flournoy put together a 12-year record of success as an assistant coach at Georgetown, Georgia (1996-2002) and Southwest Missouri State (2002-04). She has been a part of three teams that have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances including a Final Four (1999) and two regional finals appearances (1997, 2000) with Georgia, and Georgetown's "Sweet 16" run in 1993.

Overall, Williams-Flournoy's record as an assistant coach was 251-116. Along with her achievements on the court, Williams-Flournoy has been a leader in producing all-around student-athletes and monitoring academic achievement. Her Hoyas boasted a team grade point average of 3.0 in 2004-05. At Southwest Missouri State, Williams-Flournoy organized the academic monitoring of student-athletes and helped the team achieve a team GPA of over 3.0. She has been in charge of academic enrichment programs while at Georgia and is still heavily involved with the Hoyas' work in the classroom.

During her two seasons at Southwest Missouri State (now known as Missouri State University), Williams-Flournoy worked with head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson and was a part of two-straight NCAA Tournaments and two consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championships. The Southwest Missouri State team finished the 2003-04 season with a 28-4 record and won the regular-season Missouri Valley Conference Championship.

At Georgia, Williams-Flournoy was recruiting coordinator for the program during a time when Georgia made six straight NCAA Tournament appearances under head coach Andy Landers. During Williams-Flournoy's tenure, the Bulldogs won Southeastern Conference titles in 1997 and 2000, the SEC tournament in 2001 and produced seven current WNBA players.

Williams-Flournoy's four-year stint at Georgetown as an assistant saw the Hoyas achieve great success in her first season (1992-93), as Georgetown earned a BIG EAST Championship and its first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament, finishing the year with a 23-7 overall mark, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. Williams-Flournoy was responsible for all aspects of recruiting and scouting along with conditioning, game planning and academic monitoring. She also coached current GU assistant Niki Reid Geckler on the 1992-93 Sweet Sixteen team.

A 1991 graduate of Penn State University with a degree in business management, Williams-Flournoy was a four-year letterwinning basketball player for the Lady Lions. Penn State won the Atlantic 10 Conference championship in each of Williams-Flournoy's last two seasons as a player and was a participant in the NCAA Tournament in three of Williams-Flournoy's four seasons. In 1988, 1990 and 1991 Williams-Flournoy and the Lady Lions advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament and in 1991, Penn State was ranked No. 1 in the country.
