In honor of his advocacy and contributions made to PCC and the basketball programs, the basketball floor in the Cascade gym is named The Harold C.Williams Sr. Court. Williams was a well-known leader in the North and Northeast Portland communities for 50 years, he was a champion for educational opportunities to help at-risk students, and a leader in raising awareness about issues facing Portland's African American community. Additionally, Williams was instrumental in the hiring of current PCC head men's basketball coach Tony Broadous. The 2013-14 PCC men's basketball team dedicated their season and their historic NWAACC Championship title to honor the memory of Williams.
