    London completes the first staff for Roos, which also includes assistant coaches Jesse Fleming and former Falcon Ali Mann. Monique Rosati returns as BG's director of women's basketball operations.

    London spent the past five years at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., working in the areas of game operations and event manager, special projects coordinator and coordinator of fundraisers for Samford’s 13 Olympic sports programs. She also was the color commentator for Samford’s home women’s basketball games.

    London was a four-year member of the women’s basketball team at Samford, and rewrote the program’s record book during that time. She finished her career in 2011 as the school’s all-time scoring leader with 1,760 career points, and also set program career records for three-pointers (276) and free throws made (382) and games started (113). London also finished her career ranked second in Samford history in steals (162), third in field goals made (551) and fifth in both assists (304) and games played (122).
