Founder and Director
Formerly known as Tyrell Timpson, Tyrell “Ty” Macon has been immersed in the game of basketball his entire life. He comes from a large basketball family and developed a strong foundation in the game at an early age.
A 2005 graduate of Rancho High School in North Las Vegas, Nevada, Macon was a four-year varsity letter winner. He earned three varsity letters at Rancho and one at Westview High School in Portland, Oregon. During his high school career, he was a two-time All-Sunrise Region selection as a junior and senior. He was also named Team MVP during his senior season.
After high school, Macon attended Treasure Valley Community College. During his sophomore season, he earned All-East Region honors and ranked among the top
100 junior college players in the nation. His success at the junior college level led him to continue his collegiate career at the NCAA Division I level at the University of South Alabama.
Following college, Macon pursued a professional basketball career overseas. He played internationally for nearly a decade. His career spanned six countries across four continents, including North America (United States and the Dominican Republic), Europe, Africa, and Australia. During this time, he competed at a high professional level while gaining valuable experience in diverse basketball systems and cultures.
Alongside his professional playing career, Macon developed a strong passion for coaching and player development. He worked with athletes worldwide while playing abroad. His experience includes training and mentoring players at various stages of development, from youth and high school athletes to collegiate and professional players.
Coach Macon brings over 10 years of coaching experience. He has served as a head coach at the high school level and within AAU club programs. Internationally, he coached 14U and 18U teams in Australian leagues. His coaching philosophy emphasizes skill development, discipline, accountability, and long-term growth.
In 2016, Macon founded Macon Progress to formalize his commitment to giving back through the game of basketball. The program was created to develop athletes both on and off the court. Its mission is to use basketball as a vehicle to teach life skills, leadership, and character.
Since launching Macon Progress, Coach Macon has worked with numerous collegiate and professional-level players. He has also helped place many student-athletes into college programs on basketball scholarships. His work continues to focus on holistic development, mentorship, and preparing athletes for success beyond the game.
