Washington Huskies women's basketball coach Tina Langley has signed a six-year, $7.1 million extension after leading the team to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. The deal is a significant victory for the athletic department as Alabama was reportedly a strong suitor for her services.

Langley's decision to stay with Washington comes after Alabama's reported interest, similar to former offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's situation when Nick Saban sought him out as 'Bama's next playcaller. Washington now holds a 2-1 advantage in its coaching carousel rivalry with Alabama.
