Coquese Washington hired as Oklahoma assistant women's basketball coach

NORMAN — One hire down, one to go.

Oklahoma women's basketball coach Sherri Coale announced the hiring of assistant coach Coquese Washington on Thursday.

Washington was Penn State's head coach from 2008-19, going 209-169 with the Nittany Lions and guiding them to four NCAA Tournament appearances and two Sweet 16s.

"Coquese is a winner," Coale said in a statement. "Her track record of coaching and her experience in recruiting elite talent is well-documented. She has a versatile skill set that will benefit our student-athletes and our coaching staff."

Coale and Washington coached together for USA Basketball at the 2013 World University Games.
