Charity Brown enters her third season as an assistant coach on the Samford women's basketball staff.
"I could not be more excited about Charity returning to Samford as an assistant coach. She had an exceptional career as a player that will no doubt translate to her success as a coach," Samford head coach Carley Kuhns said. "Her ability to connect with people from all different backgrounds will be a huge asset to our program. She exemplifies everything Samford Women's Basketball stands for and will be a phenomenal leader and role model for our players."
Brown returned to Samford after serving two seasons as an assistant coach at Point University in Georgia. In her final season with the Skyhawks, Brown helped shepherd Point to a 23-9 record and the program's first Appalachian Athletic Conference Championship.
"I am very excited to be back at Samford and to work for a great University and Women's Basketball Program," Brown said. "I am grateful for the opportunity to work under a great coach but an even better person, like Coach Carley, and to work alongside Coach Matt and Coach Higgs! I'm ready to get going!"
A former All-Southern Conference selection, Brown played in 115 games and started 97 for Samford from 2016-20. She averaged 6.6 points with 4.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds during her Bulldog career.
Brown's name is littered through the Samford record books as the former guard holds the program's record for most assists in a career with 511, while also ranking top 10 in rebounds with 501 and games started.
During her senior season, Brown was named third team All-SoCon after leading the league with 5.8 assists per game while helping Samford to SoCon regular season and tournament titles in 2020.
