The stint lasted until 1996 when she moved on to the University of Georgia.

In her first season at the helm of the Hoyas, Williams-Flournoy compiled a 12-16 overall record and a 7-9 mark in BIG EAST Conference play. GU closed out the regular season by winning six of its last nine games. Georgetown finished tied for sixth in the league standings, and forward Kierrah Marlow was named to the All-BIG EAST Freshman Team.

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 nine teams that have made 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. 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 was also in charge of academic enrichment programs while at Georgia and with Georgetown.

During her two seasons at Southwest Missouri State, 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 regularseason 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. The Bulldogs won Southeastern Conference titles in 1997 and 2000, won the SEC tournament in 2001 and produced seven current WNBA players during Williams- Flournoy's tenure.

Williams-Flournoy's four-year tenure at Georgetown 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. As a Georgetown assistant she was responsible for all aspects of recruiting and scouting along with conditioning, game planning and academic monitoring, and she also coached current GU assistant Niki Reid.

A 1991 graduate of Penn State University with a degree in business management Williams-Flournoy was a four-year letterwinner in basketball 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 before falling to Auburn, Virginia and James Madison, respectively.
