"Britney Anderson is a great addition to the staff at Radford. I was always impressed with her work ethic and her commitment to being successful on and of the court."

“Britney is a great hire for Mike. She has an outgoing personality and was a natural recruiter as a student-athlete. With her contacts as an AAU coach in the D.C. area and her ties to the region as a player at Blacksburg High School, I expect her to quickly become a top recruiter in the region. She also has great knowledge of the game and is an excellent teacher as well. I have no doubt Mike has assembled a staff that will help him lead Radford back to the top of the Big South.”
