Virginia Cavaliers forward Sam Brunelle has star power, and she’s got the jokes, too.
College basketball season is slowly approaching as several conferences hold media days and exhibition games to showcase their best athletes. Many questions about the upcoming season will be asked, including goals and matchups.
However, the best moments typically involve hard-hitting topics like giving a scouting report on your head coach. Brunelle and fellow teammate Camryn Taylor were asked to discuss that during ACC Tipoff, the conference’s annual media day in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Taylor took a moment to compliment head coach Amaka “Mox” Agugua-Hamilton on the athleticism she displayed in her prime. But Brunelle immediately jumped in with the jokes.

“I like how you said ‘in her prime,'” Brunelle chuckled. “She wouldn’t jump over a rock now.” Welp.
Brunelle quickly followed up by saying she’d previously asked her coach to take a jump shot, and the answer was “nah.”
Later in the clip, Coach “Mox” is told what Brunelle said and appears stunned. But, “Mox” was quick on her feet and fired back a sick burn when asked if she would like to respond.
“What time is practice tomorrow?”
Well-played, coach. Well-played.
