Tina Langley
Head Coaching Record:
Rice head coach (2015-present): 82-49
Pros:
In just a short time, Tina Langley has helped Rice’s women’s basketball program flourish. She led Rice to a 28-4 record (the most wins in a single season in school history) this season and their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2005. They were close to advancing to the second round as well, losing as a 12-seed to 5-seed Marquette in overtime, 58-54. That would’ve been only Rice’s second victory in the NCAA Tournament ever. She’s improved Rice’s win total every year she’s been their head coach.
Cons:
Langley has helped Rice grow in women’s basketball in a major way, but she’s only been a head coach for four seasons. She’s definitely a hot name on the women’s basketball coaching market, but she’s never been a head coach at a major program. She has assistant experience in the SEC and at Maryland, but hiring her would be a risk when there are other more proven candidates out there.

Katie Maier of Miami would be a good choice if she had any interest
I would have to agree only two names that would make any sense would be Banghart and Pearl
