They previously played together at NCAA Division II school Franklin Pierce as well as on the national teams and are now back with each other on the sidelines in New Jersey.

“I couldn’t be more excited to add Johannah to our staff,” Jen Leedham said, via release. “She has just finished an impressive playing career overseas and will bring a wealth of knowledge especially in the player development area.

“With her international ties as well as playing at the highest level being an Olympian she will certainly bring a lot of passion to our programme on a daily basis.”

Leedham-Warner announced her retirement from an illustrious playing career at the end of last season and returned to the US to be with her family.

Saint Peter’s compete in the MAAC and finished the 2021-22 campaign with a 13-18 record overall.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
