Texas A&M HC Joni Taylor helps lead the USA Women’s basketball team to Olympic gold

Texas A&M head women’s basketball coach Joni Taylor is no stranger to USA basketball, and this summer, she joined the staff of the 2024 Olympic team.

As the USA basketball coach before her Olympic run, she is 21-0 with three gold medals in the FIBA circuit and ran a few of the National Team Spring mini camps. So, in February, she was asked what she was looking for specifically and her answer was simple .

“Winning a gold medal. That is the plan that is the only plan”

While the game came down to the wire, the USA Women’s basketball team won for a staggering eighth consecutive Olympic gold with a 67-66 victory over France. With that win, the team extended its Olympic win streak to 61 in a row, not having lost a game since 1992.

Congratulations to Coach Taylor for adding an Olympic gold medal to her trophy case.
