He later transferred to Coastal Alabama Community College, where he played two additional seasons and helped the Coyotes finish No. 16 in the national rankings in 2023.

Following his playing career, King moved into coaching and player development.

He served as an assistant coach at Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, helping guide the program to the 2025 MHSAA Class 1A State Championship. Most recently, he worked as an assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis programs at Mississippi University for Women during the 2025-26 season.

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, King serves as the Junior Team Coordinator for the Golden Triangle area, where he organizes leagues, recruits volunteer coaches, coordinates tournaments, and works to expand opportunities for young tennis players throughout the region.

King is committed to helping student-athletes develop both on and off the court while fostering a competitive and positive culture within the Meridian Community College tennis program.
