Timion joined the Nunawading Demons for the 1975 Victorian season, as the club’s star import.
Timion remained with Nunawading in 1977, playing for the Nunawading Spectres in the men’s Division 1 championship in Victoria, where he was named alongside Bill Palmer and Alan Black as one of the team’s key players.
During that 1977 season, Nunawading was tied for third with Coburg and was noted as the only team to beat ladder leader South Melbourne to that point of the year.
Timion played college basketball at Northern Iowa, As a freshman he joined the Panthers in the 1969-70 season and was part of a young North Central Conference group coached by Wesley “Zeke” Hogeland.
By the 1970-71 season, Timion had become a regular in Northern Iowa’s frontcourt as a forward-center from Waverly, Iowa, and he scored 21 points against Morningside on January 8, 1971.
That same 1970-71 season, he was carrying a hand injury late in the year and was listed as doubtful for one North Dakota State game.
Timion returned for 1971-72 as an experienced junior in Northern Iowa’s main rotation, playing alongside Brian Bestul, Randy Beilke, Bill McCoy, Tim Hackenmiller and Bill Smith in the Panthers’ North Central Conference campaign under Hogeland.
Northern Iowa won the North Central Conference title in 1971-72, giving Timion a conference championship during his college career.
He finished his time at Northern Iowa with 722 career points and 586 career rebounds, which placed him in the program’s 500-point and 500-rebound club.
Timion’s 722 points also kept him among Northern Iowa’s career scoring leaders for decades after his playing days, and he was still listed inside the program’s all-time top scorers in later record updates.
His final college season came in 1972-73, when Northern Iowa finished third in the North Central Conference tie-break structure, and a 1973 team photo from that period showed him wearing jersey number 12.
Across his Northern Iowa career from 1969 to 1973, Timion established himself as a long-term frontcourt contributor whose known college totals were 722 points and 586 rebounds while helping the Panthers to a North Central Conference championship in 1971-72.
