Amy Williams' Coaching Journey Before Nebraska
Amy Williams has a notable coaching history that led her to the University of Nebraska. Her career progression prior to joining the Cornhuskers in 2016 includes successful stints at two different institutions.
Her coaching timeline before Nebraska is as follows:
| Period | Institution | Role |

- Rogers State (2007-2012): Williams began her head coaching career at Rogers State, an NAIA institution in Claremore, Oklahoma. During her five seasons there, she established a strong foundation for the program.
- South Dakota (2012-2016): Following her time at Rogers State, Williams transitioned to the NCAA Division I level, taking over as head coach for the University of South Dakota Coyotes. Her tenure at South Dakota was particularly successful, culminating in the team's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 2014 and a WNIT championship in 2016, just before her move to Nebraska.
Her success at South Dakota, including leading the team to a 2016 WNIT title, was a key factor in her recruitment by the University of Nebraska. She took over the Nebraska program in 2016 and has been the head coach there since.
