Former University of Louisville assistant coach Samantha Williams will be in the same arena as the Cards on Saturday, although this time, she'll be coaching against the Cardinals."The irony is just something I cannot believe in my first year (at Tennessee,)" said Williams. "But I'm so thankful to be a part of a Sweet 16 obviously with Tennessee. It's going to be a lot of fun."Williams is the recruiting coordinator and an assistant coach in the Tennessee women's basketball program. She was an assistant coach for UofL under Jeff Walz from 2011 through 2019. She left UofL to become head coach for the Eastern Kentucky women's basketball program for two years. She then joined Tennessee's staff prior to this season."That's Benedict Sam, she's a traitor," joked Walz. "I have to watch out for her now (smiling). I called her after they won on Monday night, called her Tuesday. Of course, she won't answer the phone. I sent her a text. I said, 'I see how it is.'No, it's going to be great. I'm excited for Sam. Sam really did a great job when she left here, went to Eastern Kentucky, did a really good job at Eastern Kentucky as head coach for two years. Then got this opportunity to go back down to Tennessee to be an assistant.She's done a great job. Once the game starts, we're both trying to win. But it's really been good to see her have success, as well. It's going to be fun."Williams, a Manual High School graduate, is looking forward to the game as well on Saturday."We're going to go up against a really good defensive team," said Williams. "Looking forward to the challenge." The Cards' and Lady Volunteers' Sweet 16 matchup will tip-off at 4 p.m. EST on Saturday.
