MIAMI, May 17, 2024 – The Miami VIS, the WNBA’s newest Para-fictional expansion team, is thrilled to announce the addition of two dynamic coaches to its staff: Toccara Williams and Andre Drummond. As the team prepares for its inaugural season this summer, the inclusion of Williams and Drummond signifies a major step forward in building a formidable and striking team right here in the 305.

Toccara Williams brings a wealth of experience and passion to the Miami VIS. A standout point guard for Texas A&M, Williams went on to play professionally in the WNBA for the San Antonio Silver Stars and internationally in Israel and Turkey. Known for her tenacity, exceptional defensive skills, and leadership on and off the court, Williams has transitioned seamlessly into coaching. Her dedication to mentoring young athletes and her comprehensive understanding of the game make her an invaluable asset to the Miami VIS coaching staff.

Andre Drummond, a two-time NBA All-Star and renowned center, joins the Miami VIS with a reputation for his dominance on the boards and defensive prowess. Drummond’s illustrious NBA career, with significant stints at the Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers, among others, has been marked by his exceptional rebounding and shot-blocking abilities. His transition into coaching comes with a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to developing players’ skills and fostering a winning mentality. Drummond’s presence will undoubtedly elevate the performance and morale of the Miami VIS.

“We’re excited to welcome Toccara and Andre to the Miami VIS family,” said Jaki Goldner, VIS CEO. “Their combined expertise, experience, and passion for the game align perfectly with our vision for the team. They are both trailblazers in their own right, and we believe they will help us redefine what it means to be a professional basketball organization.”

The Miami VIS, under the ownership of Co-Executive Chair Ladies Jaki Goldner and Najja Moon, is set to debut its official roster on Sunday, June 2nd in the Miami-based Ballers Lab League. The team’s unique approach to cultivating a vibrant and inclusive basketball culture aims to grow the league’s game, build a culture where players can be themselves, and remind everyone that the game still loves them back.
