LONGWOOD WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Rebecca Nemerow Tillett, coming off back-to-back 20-win seasons as associate head coach at Navy, will take over as Longwood University's head women's basketball coach, athletics director Troy Austin announced Thursday.
Tillett joined the staff at Navy as an assistant coach in 2014-15 under two-time Patriot League Coach of the Year Stefanie Pemper. After just two seasons, Pemper promoted Tillett to recruiting coordinator in 2016-17, and then to associate head coach in 2017-18.
During her four years in Annapolis, Tillett helped the Mids to an 81-47 record, including this past season when they set the program wins record at 25-8 and reached both the Patriot League Championship game and the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) for the second straight year.
