Coach Taylor must really like gold because she led the USA U19 women’s team to a 69-66 win over Spain in Madrid in front of a massive crowd to take on the 2023 FIBA world cup title. This is her fourth gold medal with USA Basketball after previously winning the following:
- 2023 U19 FIBA World Cup – Head Coach
- 2022 U18 FIBA World Cup – Head Coach
- 2022 Woman’s National Team – Assistant Coach
- 2019 U19 FIBA World Cup – Assistant Coach
The Women’s team has been dominant all tournament long leading to two from team USA making the All-Star Five Joyce Edwards and Hannah Hidalgo.

Coach Taylor has shown us constantly that she can coach best some of the best in the world and get the most out of her girls. It also helps with recruiting when one of the up-and-coming coaches has a few gold medals on her resume. Hopefully this is just a preview of the world-class system coach Taylor is reestablishing back in Aggieland.
