MACON – Mercer women's basketball head coach Michelle Clark-Heard put the finishing touches on her 2025-26 coaching staff on Thursday when she announced the addition of former Southern Conference student-athlete and six-year collegiate coaching veteran Britney Snowden as an assistant coach.
Snowden treks to Macon after spending the last four seasons on the sidelines at Bethune-Cookman. She has previous experience in various coaching roles on the staff at her alma mater, East Tennessee State, as well.
"I am excited to welcome Britney to our staff," Heard said. "She has both playing and coaching experience in the SoCon, so she knows what this league looks like. Britney's strong work ethic and ability to connect with others will be vital to our program moving forward. I look forward to BearNation meeting her."
Snowden proved instrumental in a run of success for the Wildcats over the last four seasons as Bethune-Cookman logged more than 40 victories across that span, including 28 inside Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play. The Wildcats have ranked among the nation's top 20 teams in each of the last three seasons in turnovers forced per game, including a 2023-24 campaign in which Bethune-Cookman forced nearly 21 errors an outing while possessing NCAA Division I's 26th-best turnover margin (+4.39). Bethune-Cookman has also boasted one of the nation's top-20 perimeter defense squads in each of the last two campaigns.
Snowden joined the ETSU staff as a graduate assistant in time for the 2019-20 season and was elevated to a full-time assistant role. The Bucs led the SoCon and ranked 38th, nationally, with 19.05 turnovers forced per game across her final season (2020-21) in Johnson City, Tenn., while also boasting a league-best (44th NCAA) 9.7 steals per game.
Snowden played two seasons (2017-19) as a forward at East Tennessee State and averaged 8.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 assists per game across a 64-game (52 starts) career for the Bucs. She turned in 9.3 points per game on 47.6 percent field goal shooting as a senior, while also putting up a team-best 6.2 boards per game as well. She played her first two collegiate seasons at Northwest Florida State in Niceville, Fla., where she was a two-time all-conference pick.
A native of Pensacola, Fla., Snowden earned her bachelor's degree in physical education from East Tennessee State in 2019, and completed her graduate work in public health administration at ETSU in 2021.
