Donald Joseph "Donnie" Tyndall (born June 14, 1970) is an American basketball coach currently working as an assistant coach for Raptors 905 of the NBA Development League after being placed on a 10 year show-cause penalty relating to activity during his time as head coach at Southern Miss on April 8, 2016.
His teams are known for pressing and playing an unconventional match-up zone, a highly successful variation of the defensive system employed by coach Rick Pitino at Louisville.
After graduating from Morehead State University in 1993, Tyndall began coaching at the junior college level. From 1994 to 1996, he was assistant coach at Iowa Central Community College. Tyndall had his first head coaching position in the 1996–97 season at St. Catharine College in Springfield, Kentucky. Tyndall led St. Catharine to a 30–5 record and the school's first-ever NJCAA tournament appearance. In 1997, Tyndall earned NJCAA Region 7 National Coach of the Year and Kentucky Junior College Coach of the Year honors.
After his season at St. Catharine, Tyndall got his first NCAA Division I coaching position as an assistant at LSU under John Brady, a position he would hold from 1997 to 2001. Tyndall helped LSU finish first in the SEC West Division in the 1999–00 season and make the Sweet 16 round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament. This LSU team also featured Stromile Swift, the #2 pick in the 2000 NBA draft.
In the 2001–02 season, Tyndall served as associate head coach at Idaho under Leonard Perry.
