Providence College Men’s Basketball Head Coach Kim English announced today the hiring of Tim Fuller, Dr. T.J. Grams and Chase Campbell to his staff.  Fuller will serve as an assistant coach.  Grams will be the director of basketball operations.  Campbell will be the head men’s basketball strength and conditioning coach/director of sport performance.  The hirings of Fuller, Grams and Campbell round out the new staff for English, who was hired as the Friars head coach in March.

Fuller comes to Providence College with an extensive background in coaching.   Most recently, he has served as the vice president of recruiting and player personnel at Overtime Elite.  Fuller started with Overtime Elite in April of 2021.  During his two years at Overtime Elite, he was responsible for scouting and evaluation of potential players for the league. He helped establish the league as it has developed.  Currently, Overtime Elite alumni are playing in the NBA, the G-League, Spain, Puerto Rico and Australia.

Prior to working at Overtime Elite, Fuller spent more than 12 years as an assistant coach at North Carolina A&T, Elon, Wake Forest, Fairfield, Louisville and Missouri working for some of the top coaches in college basketball.  Following the 2012 season, he was named one of College Basketball’s Top-10 assistant coaches under the age of 40, according to ESPN.com.  In 2013-14, he began the season as the interim head coach of the Missouri Tigers and led the squad to a 5-0 mark.

A 2000 graduate of Wake Forest University, Fuller was a member of the basketball team under legendary Head Coach Dave Odom. A graduate of Woodbridge High School in Lake Ridge, Va., Fuller has three sons, Timothy, Solomon and Gabriel.

“Tim Fuller brings a wealth of experience with him to Providence College,” English said.  “He has tremendous knowledge of the game and has worked at the highest level.  Tim was the Associate Head Coach when I was a senior at Missouri, I’m excited to watch him cultivate relationships with our players as he did with us during my playing days. We are looking forward to having him join our staff.”

Grams comes to Providence after serving as the director of basketball operations for the last two seasons at George Mason.  Prior to his time at George Mason, Grams spent more than a decade at the University of Virginia, where he worked as director of academic affairs for the men’s basketball program.

Grams went to Virginia after working for the Duke athletics department for five years. From 2007-10, he was an assistant director for the Blue Devils’ student-athlete academic support services. He also worked as an academic coordinator at Duke from 2005-07.

Grams joined the Duke staff after working at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business as an academic advisor. He was a graduate assistant academic coordinator at NC State while earning a master’s degree from the school, finishing in 2003.
