Duke Blue Devils v George Washington Colonials
GREENSBORO, NC - MARCH 18: Shelden Williams #23 of the Duke Blue Devils tries to block Omar Williams #1 of the George Washington Colonials during the Second Round of the 2006 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on March 18, 2006 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina

Good news for the recently single Shelden Williams as the former Blue Devil is now coaching.

Williams, known as the Landlord for his shot blocking ability (Cameron Crazies chanted “pay your rent!” after every block), will be toiling for the Erie Bayhawks.

The Bayhawks are the Atlanta Hawks’ G-League affiliate.

The one difficult thing for Williams could be joint custody as he and WNBA star Candace Parker are now divorced and have joint custody of their daughter.

Both have somewhat nomadic lives in basketball which could make it difficult to share time with their child.
