Robert Morris University Athletics

The 2016-17 campaign marks the fourth season overall for Tim Lawrence as a member of the Robert Morris coaching staff, including his second as director of basketball operations.
 
In his first year as an assistant coach with the Colonials in 2014-15, Lawrence helped lead RMU to an overall record of 20-15 (.571), including a mark of 12-6 (.667) in the Northeast Conference. Robert Morris earned its league-high eighth NEC Tournament title and subsequent bid to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Prior to joining RMU’s staff, Lawrence spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va. During his stint at R-MC, Lawrence helped guide the Yellowjackets to an overall record of 42-17 (.712) as well as a pair of NCAA Division III Tournaments. In 2013, Randolph-Macon advanced to the Sweet 16.
 
Lawrence began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant with Virginia Commonwealth in 2010-11. During his time at VCU, Lawrence worked directly with the coaching staff in all phases of the program, aiding in travel coordination and team activities. That season the Rams advanced to the 2011 NCAA Final Four.
 
Lawrence earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in business and economics from Randolph-Macon in 2010 and also earned a Master’s Degree in education with a focus in sports leadership from Virginia Commonwealth in 2011.
 
During his time at R-MC, Lawrence was a four-year letterwinner for the Yellowjackets. He served as captain of the first Randolph-Macon squad to advance to the NCAA Division III Tournament Final Four in 2010 and overall was a member of three teams that eclipsed the 20-win plateau.
 
In 2010, Lawrence was named to the All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference Academic Team and was also tabbed a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division III Senior All-Star.
 
A native of Verona, N.J., Lawrence and the former Maureen Hester were married July 2, 2016. The couple resides in Sewickley, Pa.
