Women’s college basketball coach wears Kamala Harris shirt during first game of tenure after election loss

Date:

Tulane women’s basketball coach Ashley Langford wore a Kamala Harris shirt during her team’s season-opening loss to Nicholls State Thursday. 

Langford wore the shirt during a broadcast on Fubo, and screenshots of it spread rapidly across social media

Langford, 37, is in her first season as Tulane head coach. She played for the program from 2005 to 2009. She was a four-year starting point guard and set the program record for most career assists (722), assists per game (6.0), games started (121) and minutes played (4,162).

Her freshman year at Tulane was the same year Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding community. Langford and her teammates were displaced for the fall 2005 semester and had to take their classes at Texas Tech University.

On Dec. 18, 2005, Tulane women’s basketball became the first team to resume play in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. After finally being able to take the court, Langford wound up leading the Green Wave to four consecutive winning seasons, a regular season title in 2006-07 and the 2007 WNIT.

She landed her first head coaching job with Stony Brook, where she went 69–24 (.742) in three seasons. 

She will look to get her first win as the head coach of her alma mater Tuesday against Missouri.
