Navy Coach Tim Taylor has been around the East Coast for years in a number of capacities and has probably kept track of Sam since she was in high school and AAU through her days with ND and UVA. Said Taylor in the full press release below: "In analyzing the needs of our program, it was paramount for us to find positive professionals with high-level basketball experiences either playing or coaching who have a passion for teaching and developing players as well as committed to creating staff and program synergy. We had a tremendous applicant pool, but it was obvious throughout the interview process that Sam was the exact person we needed to help elevate our players and program. She connected extremely well with our players, administrative staff, officer reps and our coaches. Wow, it doesn't seem that long ago that many of us were talking about where Ms. Brunelle was headed to college. When she announced, Azzi Fudd showed up to offer support...and Paige Bueckers would've been there if not snowed in back in Minnesota. Whew, time flies. Good luck to fellow Domer Sam, Coach Taylor and Navy.
