Terris "Tee" Sanders enters his first season as assistant coach at RIT in 2024-25.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Tee Sanders to the RIT community," said Parker. "Tee joins us with Division I experience at Hampton University and we’re fortunate to be adding a coach of his caliber to our staff.”
Sanders previously served as Director of Basketball Operations at Hampton while also serving as the head coach of the 2025 team at Wave Basketball Club (VA Beach, VA), and worked in the Hampton Roads area as a player development coach. Players who worked with Coach Tee include Kyrese Mullen (Hampton), Jerry Deng (Florida State), Tyson Brown (Georgia Southern), Marquis Godwin and Scott Spencer (Overseas).
“Tee will be working with our guards and also doing a lot of player development with our players,” said Parker. “I am excited to watch him form and develop our players on and off the floor."
In 2020, Sanders joined the DREAM Foundation, which offers a unique mentorship program for underrepresented groups within the sports industry. Specifically, students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities who are interested in a career in sports. This program gives students an opportunity to work alongside numerous event partners and aid in event support, marketing strategy, sponsorship sales, communications and social media.
In addition to coaching at RIT, Sanders serves as a college counselor at Rochester Prep High School.
Outside of basketball, Sanders enjoys boxing, working out, going to the movies, trying new foods and traveling the world with his wife, Winta and his daughters Soliana and Selia.
