COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Texas A&M women's basketball head coach Joni Taylor was named an assistant coach for the 2022 USA Basketball Women's National Team that will compete at the 2022 FIBA Women's World Cup Sept. 21-Oct. 1, the organization announced Thursday.
"Being asked to be a part of the Women's National Team is incredibly humbling," Taylor said "I am honored to join Cheryl Reeve's staff and to coach alongside Kara [Lawson] and Mike [Thibault]. I am excited to make more memories with USA Basketball and to compete for gold in Australia."
