Tina Langley is currently the head women's basketball coach at Rice University. Prior to 2015-16, she was the associate head coach  at Maryland, helping develop the Terrapins into a Final Four program over seven seasons.

As Maryland's associate head coach, Langley helped UM compile a 195-49 record and back-to-back Final Four appearances.

Maryland went 18-0 in league play in their first year in the Big Ten to win the regular season title and followed with a conference tournament title. The Terrapins set a school record by winning 28-straight games and the 34 overall victories tied for the most in school history.

As head coach Brenda Frese's top assistant, Langley's responsibilities included coordinating the Terps' recruiting efforts, assisting in player development, scouting, and on-court coaching.

In 18 years on the sidelines, Langley has coached 34 All-Conference players, led her teams to 11 postseason appearances (11 conference championships in Big Ten, ACC and MAC), and has developed 14 professional players, including six WNBA draft picks. She's helped to bring in nine ranked recruiting classes among her stops and three have been ranked as top-10 classes.

Prior to arriving in College Park in 2008, Langley served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at both Georgia (2005) and Clemson (2003-05). While at Clemson, Langley worked under legendary head coach Jim Davis. In her two years with the Tigers, the team advanced to the 2004 Women's Basketball Invitational (WNIT).

Langley spent five seasons at the University of Toledo (1998-03). She began her coaching career with the Rockets as a graduate assistant coach in 1998-99, before moving up to recruiting coordinator and then associate head coach during the 2002-03 campaign. She helped the Rockets reach the postseason three times, including two NCAA Tournament appearances. During her tenure, Toledo also won three Mid-American Conference regular season titles (1999, 2001 and 2003) and two conference tournament crowns (1999 and 2001).

Langley played basketball and volleyball collegiately for two seasons at Bevill State Junior College before transferring to the University of West Alabama, where she lettered twice in basketball. She graduated from UWA with a degree in special education in 1996, and earned her first master's degree in Recreation and Leisure with an emphasis in recreation administration from the University of Toledo. Langley would later earn a master of arts in community counseling at the University of Alabama in 2008.
