Timothy Milledge Hankinson (born February 18, 1955) is an American soccer coach.
The child of pianist Richard "Dick" Hankinson and early television figure Nelle "Pokey" Hankinson (née Rahm) (d. 2010), Hankinson's career as a player began at age 5 as a kindergarten student at St. David's School. The school had a relationship with a German soccer coach who taught the students how to play the game on the grassy spaces at nearby Central Park. Seeing the coach perform a simple trick with a ball intrigued the young player and a lifelong love of the game began. Following his 8th grade graduation from St. David's, Hankinson continued his education and soccer playing in Upstate New York at The Storm King School, then at the University of South Carolina (USC). While a college student, he earned his USSF C and B Licenses, already knowing his future would lead to a career in coaching.
After graduating from USC in 1979, Hankinson's career as a head coach began at Oglethorpe University. After one season that ended with his team making an appearance as NAIA District Finalists, he moved on to the men's head coach post at Alabama A&M. In his two seasons at the helm, Hankinson's sides compiled an impressive 37–5–4 (W-L-D) record and made a pair of appearances in the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship finishing 3rd in 1980 and 2nd in 1981. Hankinson soon moved on to DePaul University for the 1982 and 1983 seasons where he helped transition the school's men's soccer program into the NCAA Division I ranks. He then took a year off before joining Syracuse University as their men's head coach in 1985. From 1985 to 1990, Hankinson's teams were 69–40–18 (W-L-D) including a Big East Conference championship in 1985. Their performance also yielded individual recognition for the coach as he was named Big East Conference Coach of the Year for 1986.
