"I am thrilled to have Sam join my staff," said Tincher. "She really separated herself during the interview process by demonstrating her tremendous basketball IQ and passion for the game."
 
"Sam's commitment to developing our student athletes in all areas of life beyond just the court is unmatched.  She has extensive and diverse experience with the game as a player, coach and trainer I know she's going to be a huge resource for our program."
 
Price competed at the collegiate level for St. Cloud State University, where she was named to the all-freshman team and twice named to the all-conference squad.  She was the NCAA Division II leader in free-throw percentage (93.3%) in the 2012-13 season. Price also played professionally for four years with the St. Louis Surge, Flyer Pro Elite and the Milwaukee Aces.
