It appears that Tina Langley’s name has popped up on a short list for Alabama’s women’s basketball coach. She’s slowly built a great program at Washington and continues to elevate the program each season. And as she rises, her name will start to pop up for other programs. What makes Alabama special? She grew up in Tuscaloosa and would be headed back home if Alabama could lure her away.
Alabama wouldn’t have to pay much for Langley’s buyout after next week. According to Mitchell Northam, the buyout would only be $175 thousand after April 1. That’s not going to deter the Crimson Tide away if Bama does want to swoop in. For Washington, it would be frustrating as another successful coach at UW gets stolen by Alabama.
I got a copy of Washington coach Tina Langley’s contract. She’ll make about $720K this year. On April 1, buyout drops to $175K.Noteworthy, considering she grew up and went to college not far from Tuscaloosa.Alabama is not using a search firm to find Curry’s successor. #ncaaW
