Monty Williams has built a reputation as the ultimate player's coach in the NBA. Despite a successful stint with the Phoenix Suns, he was fired after the team's elimination from the postseason following which he was appointed as head coach of the Detroit Pistons.
Williams is married to Lisa Keeth, who's best known for being a volleyball player. Back in 2001, she received a Holland Award. Keeth was born in May 1980 in Oakland, California, and is currently 41 years of age. She is American, but has English roots.
The two reportedly got married back in 2017. Their wedding ceremony was private and not much was shown through social media.
According to reports, Lisa has been working in Spurs Sports & Entertainment. It isn't clear if she's associated with the San Antonio Spurs, professionally. But she's listed the city of San Antonio as her current place of residence.
