Stillman College

A former All-Conference tennis athlete himself, William Riley ('93) served as Stillman College's men's and women's tennis head coach for 23 seasons, compiling an 818-316 combined record (.721). He coached his teams to two SIAC men's tennis conference championships (2013, 2014) and three women's tennis championships (2013, 2014, 2015). He was named the SIAC Coach of the Year six times in five separate years (men: 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and women 2014, 2015). He coached Stillman's women's team to three-straight SIAC championships, including the school's first SIAC tennis title in 2013.  Combined between the two programs, in his final six seasons, he coached 28 SIAC First Team All-Conference selections, six SIAC Player of the Year recipients and four SIAC Freshman of the Year awards from 2010-2015. In addition to coaching student-athletes, Wiley worked with disadvantaged groups, providing free lessons to students and adults in West Alabama communities.

In addition to tennis, Riley was the first male cheerleader at Stillman College as an undergraduate in the early 1990s.

A native of Sallis, Mississippi, Riley currently resides in Conyers, Georgia and is head coach of the Point University tennis program.
