Tyrell Macon

Formerly known as Tyrell Timpson, Tyrell "Ty" Macon has been involved with basketball his entire life and comes from a large basketball family. A 2005 graduate of Rancho High School in North Las Vegas, Nevada, Ty Macon was a 4-year varsity letter winner, earning 3 at Rancho and 1 at Westview High School in Portland, Oregon. During his high school years, Macon earned two All-Sunrise Region selections during his junior and senior seasons and was named Team MVP during his senior campaign.

After graduating high school in 2005, Macon went on to attend Treasure Valley Community College, where he earned All-East Region honors during his sophomore season and was ranked as one of the top 100 junior college players in the country. Following his success at the junior college level, Macon went on to attend NCAA Division 1 University of South Alabama, where he was able to be a part of the NCAA "March Madness" Tournament after being crowned the Sun Belt Conference regular-season champions.

After college, Ty continued his basketball career by playing professionally internationally, with a career that spanned nearly a decade across six countries on four continents: North America (U.S., Dominican Republic), Europe, Africa, and Australia.

Coach Ty brings over 10 years of experience working with players on various levels, ranging from elementary through college and professional levels.

Testimonials

I came to Team Progress the summer going into my junior year, and it’s been family ever since. Real coaching from every coach on the staff, and every day at practice was a real grind on the court and strength-wise. Not only did he (Coach Ty) help me on the court, but he also helped me off the court, finding scholarships and opportunities to receive more financial aid for college, which was huge! Even now that I’m out of the program, every time I come home from my prep, I still get in the lab with Coach Ty, and he is still helping me navigate through my journey. Truly one of the best programs in the state.
