Tim Carter

Tim Carter, the all-time winningest head coach in University of Texas-San Antonio basketball history, is in his first season as an assistant coach at Florida State. Carter comes to the Seminoles after winning 160 games and leading the Roadrunners into the NCAA Tournament twice during his 11-year tenure at UTSA.

Carter is nationally recognized as an outstanding evaluator of talent and an outstanding bench coach who has coached in the Big Ten at Northwestern, the Big Eight at Oklahoma State and the Southwestern Conference at Houston.

Carter, 50, was named the Southland Conference Coach of the Year in 1999 when he led UTSA to an 18-11 record and to only the second NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. He led the Roadrunners to the NCAA Tournament in both 1999 and 2004 to mark two of the three postseason tournament appearances in school history. Carter led UTSA to the Southland Conference Tournament championship in 1999 and 2004 - the first two conference championships in men's basketball in school history. The Roadrunners had the highest winning percentage in the SLC during 10 of his 11 seasons at UTSA.

In 11 years (1996-2006) as the head coach at UTSA, Carter compiled a 160-152 record. Including one season as the head coach at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (1995) he has a record of 171-168.

In 26 seasons on the collegiate level as a head, assistant and graduate assistant coach, Carter has helped lead five different schools into the postseason including Oklahoma (1983 NCAA), Houston (1987 NCAA), Oklahoma State (1989 and 1990 NIT), Northwestern (1994 NIT) and UTSA (1999 and 2004 NCAA).

During his tenure at UTSA, Carter recruited and coached the top players school history. He coached five of the six Roadrunner players who have earned Southland Conference First-Team honors including Devin Brown -- the only three-time SLC First-Team selection in school history. Brown is still one of only 17 players in SLC history to have earned All-Conference honors three or more times.

Carter began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Oklahoma from 1982-83 and was an assistant coach at Midwestern State University from 1984-86. He helped lead Houston to the NCAA Tournament in 1987 and then joined Hamilton's staff at Oklahoma State from 1987-90. While at Oklahoma State, Hamilton and Carter teamed to lead the Cowboys to the NIT in 1989 and 1990 - the first time the program had played in the postseason since the 1953 and 1954 seasons.
