A former Edmond Santa Fe High School basketball player is back in Oklahoma, but his return comes following what he and his family allege was racial discrimination at his previous university.

Tyler Williams will be a senior suiting up for Southern Nazarene University in Bethany this season, but he was set to play his second season at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith as recently as Aug. 16. That was until Williams was dismissed from the team that same day by UAFS head coach Jim Boone.

On Sunday, a UAFS student tweeted out screenshots of a letter to the university written by the Williamses about their son’s dismissal from the team. The letter sparked a firestorm of passionate responses across social media and demands for Boone’s firing. In the letter, Reginald and Tiffini Williams detail how Tyler Williams’ first encounter with Boone over the summer "took a toll on their son."

"I didn’t know the letter had got out, but I’m glad it’s out and people are seeing my story," Tyler Williams told The Oklahoman Tuesday night. "It shouldn’t be tolerated."
