Founder and Director
Formerly known as Tyrell Timpson, Tyrell “Ty” Macon has dedicated much of his life to the game of basketball. Raised in a large basketball family, he developed a strong understanding of the game, a competitive foundation, and a passion for player development at an early age.
β
Macon graduated from Rancho High School in North Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2005. A four-year varsity basketball letter winner, he earned three varsity letters at Rancho and one at Westview High School in Portland, Oregon. He received All-Sunrise Region honors during both his junior and senior seasons and was named Rancho’s team MVP as a senior.
β
After high school, Macon attended Treasure Valley Community College, where he
earned All-East Region honors during his sophomore season and was recognized among the top 100 junior college players in the nation. His success at the junior college level led to an opportunity to continue his collegiate career at the NCAA Division I level with the University of South Alabama.
Following college, Macon began an international professional basketball career that spanned nearly a decade. He competed in six countries across four continents, including the Dominican Republic and locations throughout Europe, Africa, and Australia. His time abroad allowed him to compete at a high level while gaining valuable experience in diverse basketball systems, coaching philosophies, and cultures.
Throughout his playing career, Macon also developed a strong passion for coaching, mentorship, and player development. While competing internationally, he trained and worked with athletes at multiple levels, including youth, high school, collegiate, and professional players. Those experiences shaped his ability to teach the game, build meaningful relationships, and help athletes grow both on and off the court.
Coach Macon brings more than 15 years of coaching experience. He has served as a high school head coach, led competitive AAU and club basketball teams, and coached internationally at the 14U and 18U levels in Australia. He currently serves as an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Warner Pacific University. His coaching philosophy is centered on skill development, discipline, accountability, basketball intelligence, and long-term personal growth.
In 2016, Macon founded Macon Progress to expand his commitment to serving athletes and communities through basketball. The organization was created to develop young people both on and off the court, using the game as a platform to teach leadership, character, responsibility, and essential life skills.
Since founding Macon Progress, Coach Macon has trained and mentored numerous collegiate and professional players while helping many student-athletes earn opportunities to continue their academic and basketball careers at the college level. His work remains focused on holistic development, meaningful mentorship, and preparing athletes for success in basketball, education, and life beyond the game.
