Tim Welsh (born October 4, 1960) is an American college basketball coach and the former head basketball coach at Providence College. Previously, he served as the head coach at Iona College. He also served briefly as head men's basketball coach at Hofstra University. He now serves as an analyst for ESPN.
Born in Massena, New York, Welsh is a 1984 graduate of SUNY Potsdam, where he played basketball for his father, Jerry. During his senior season, he was a co-captain. He also attended a year at Worcester Academy. Following his college career, he became a volunteer assistant under Pat Kennedy at Iona College, before becoming a full-time assistant under Kennedy at Florida State University. He later served as an assistant under Jim Boeheim at Syracuse University before joining his father, then the coach at Iona, as an assistant coach in 1991.
During the 1994-95 season, Jerry Welsh became ill and Tim served as the interim coach during his absence, guiding the Gaels to a 5-5 record in ten games. Following the season, Jerry was forced to retire and Tim was named the head coach on a permanent basis. In his first full season as head coach, the Gaels tied for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season title; in his second and third seasons, the Gaels won the title outright. Iona reached the 1998 NCAA Tournament with a 27-6 record. This was Iona's first tournament appearance since 1985. Overall, Welsh went 70-22 in three seasons at Iona, and he was named MAAC Coach of the Year in both 1997 and 1998.
