“Diligent, tough, fundamentally strong, and a great smile. That is what Coach Steve Williams demonstrated for the UCR Highlanders as Player Steve Williams. Come with your laces tied tight and ready to get into the nuts and bolts of real basketball. Any youngster fortunate enough to get between the lines with Steve Williams will learn about ‘CORRECT REPETITION’ and will leave the court a better player.”

"Make them pay" Coach Lawson has declared as part of his pep talk to young basketball scholars who he, himself, was known to do during his high school days at Cleveland High School in Reseda, California leading the helm as point guard.

Lawson is a California native who has been coaching basketball for the past 8 years. His acclaims include: Head coach at LaTijera Middle School, Inglewood, CA; head coach at YMCA of Hawthorne, CA; head coach semi-pro adult men's basketball team, Los Angeles, CA; sophomore coach at Inglewood High School under Pat Roy, Inglewood, CA; junior varsity coach at Daniel Murphy High School under Harold Jones, Los Angeles, CA; first assistant coach to 2D1 Basketball Academy under Ron Quarterman, well-known NBA D-league coach and currently Lawson's mentor; and head coach of Team Swish, which was awarded 13 first place titles within the past 4 years.

Lawson is also known for being able to scope talent in young athletes and believes that some kids just need a little push to bring the "beast" out of them. He is a mentor to many, an avid instructor and disciplinarian and exudes a high level of compassion and love for people.
