Fenlon previously coached seven seasons as a head coach at Sewanee, Rose-Hulman, and Southwestern University (Texas). He retired in 2022 as the 4th winningest active coach in Division 3.
Fenlon was recognized as the 2021 Jack Bennett Award recipient which is presented annually to a non-Division I head coach who achieves success on the basketball court, while displaying great moral integrity off of the court as well.
Fenlon's impact has been felt beyond the student-athletes he's coached as he has annually led student teams to Belfast, Northern Ireland to work with PeacePlayers International on conflict resolution and peace initiatives.
As a player, Bill earned three letters as a member of the Northwestern Wildcats basketball team. He was an all-state high school player at Marist High School in Atlanta and was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame in 2006.
