Jaime welcomes Dad's help with Lions
It was just a couple of weeks before the Linn-Mar girls basketball season started when first-year head coach Jaime (Printy) Brandt introduced the team to her newest assistant.
"This is my dad,” she said. “And that’s probably going to be the last time you hear me call him that."
Since then, he’s simply known as “Coach Printy,” the same as her other assistant is “Coach Suther.”
“And I call her ‘Coach,’” says Jaime’s dad Jeff of the unique daughter/father coaching relationship. “Oh, we slip occasionally. But it’s her team. She runs the show. I’m just on board to help out in any way I can.”
It isn’t something that had been in the works for a long time.
Jaime does say, however, “I used to joke that if someday I ever became a head coach I’d hire Dad as my assistant.
