Tina Langley Locked In: Washington Women's Basketball Coach Signs Six-Year Extension Through 2032
The Washington women's basketball program just got its stability locked down for the next six years. Coach Tina Langley and the UW athletic department agreed to a six-year, $7.1 million extension that will keep her on Montlake through the 2031-32 season. The deal was signed Wednesday, and it pays Langley a base salary of $1,187,500 annually for each of the next six seasons.
From 7-14 to Elite: Langley's Rebuild Speaks for Itself
When Langley took over in 2021, the Huskies were drowning. The program was 7-14 and needed serious help. Fast forward five seasons, and she's built something real. Over that span, Langley has compiled an 83-71 record and taken Washington to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances. This past season? The Huskies went 21-11 and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. That's not luck. That's a coach who knows how to build a winning program.

Athletic director Pat Chun didn't mince words about why the extension happened. "Over the past five seasons, we have witnessed the continued ascent of Washington women's basketball under the leadership of Coach Langley," Chun said in a statement. "She has distinguished herself as both an exceptional coach and an outstanding leader. We are fortunate to have her leading our program and look forward to building on the strong foundation she has established."
Langley expressed her own gratitude in a statement, thanking President Robert Jones, Chun, deputy athletic director Erin O'Connell, and the entire administrative team. "Their wholehearted commitment and support of our student-athletes and entire program is deeply felt," Langley said. "It is an honor and a blessing to serve alongside such a high-character group of young women and outstanding coaching staff. Washington is a special place, and we are so excited for what's to come."
This is the kind of move that signals real investment. The Huskies have their coach locked in, the trajectory is pointed up, and there's nowhere to go but higher.
