Tommy Connor recently completed his first season at Washington, bringing a veteran background to Danny Sprinkle's Husky coaching staff.
Connor previously served as an assistant on Utah’s bench for 14 seasons over two separate stints. During the summer of 2014, he was elevated to the title of associate head coach.
He spent 10 years on staff with Larry Krystkowiak from 2011-21, helping the Utes to five-straight postseasons, including a Sweet 16 appearance and NIT “Final Four” berth.
In between stints in Salt Lake City, Connor had a stellar 12-year career as head coach at Westminster College (NAIA). Connor led the Griffins to a 264-114 (.698) overall record, while proving even more dominant in Frontier Conference play with a 126-40 (.759) mark. Connor built the program from scratch after it was reinstated prior to the 1999-2000 season.
Under Connor, Westminster posted 10 seasons with at least 20 wins, including nine straight from 2002-2011. The Griffins won seven regular-season Frontier Conference championships and two conference tournament titles. Connor was a five-time Frontier Conference Coach of the Year and his teams qualified for nine NAIA National Championship appearances.
Connor coached 17 players to NAIA All-American status and had one NAIA National Player of the Year. The Griffins also had five players named Frontier Conference Player of the Year and saw 36 players earn all-conference honors. Westminster was also successful in the classroom as 44 players earned NAIA Scholar Athlete honors and 108 players were named Academic All-Frontier Conference. Westminster led the nation with the most NAIA Scholar Athletes in back-to-back years from 2009-2011.
Connor was a four-year starter for Utah at point guard, where he played in an NCAA Tournament as a freshman. After graduating with a B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science, he spent three years as a graduate assistant and another four years as an assistant coach at Utah under Rick Majerus from 1994-97. Connor helped guide Utah to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight in back-to-back seasons, while capturing four Western Athletic Conference championships.
Connor has been married to his wife Kathryn for over 25 years. He has a son, Jake, as well as two daughters, Sydney and Cass.
