Item Description
Upon arriving on the University Park campus as the fifth head coach in Penn State women's history - and first female African-American head coach in Penn State history - Coquese Washington quickly returned the program to national prominence with her up-tempo, aggressive style of play. Entering her 10th season on the sideline in Happy Valley, her passion for creating a winning culture, predicated on innovative coaching techniques, tireless recruiting, cultivating meaningful relationships with student-athletes and an unmatched enthusiasm for teaching the game she loves, Washington is in the conversation as one of the nation's top head coaches.
Washington has seen success at every level of basketball and in every role she has filled on the sidelines. She became the first player at Flint Central High School to earn a starting position all four seasons and helped her squad to the program's first Saginaw Valley League and district championships, while earning all-state honors on two occasions.
She went on to earn four varsity letters at the University of Notre Dame, leading the team in steals four times and assists on three occasions, before moving on to professional basketball where she was a member of the 2000 WNBA Champion Houston Comets squad.
On the sidelines, she has appeared in the postseason 13 times, with 12 of those being NCAA Tournament appearances. She helped the Lady Lions to four straight berths in the NCAA Tournament - including a pair of Sweet Sixteen appearances - and was an assistant coach on Notre Dame’s 2001 NCAA National Championship team. Her three straight Big Ten Championships make her one of just four coaches in Big Ten history with three-or-more consecutive Big Ten regular season championships (Jim Foster, C. Vivian Stringer &Tara VanDerveer &), taking home outright crowns in 2012 & 2013, while sharing the 2014 title.
