Celebrating Black History in Women’s Basketball: Marian E. Washington
Marian Washington created a bit of Black History in her own right, serving as an assistant coach for the USA’s gold medal-winning Olympic team in 1996, becoming the first African-American to coach on a U.S. Olympic women’s basketball staff.
Outside of the international arena Washington continued to make history, posting a 560-363 ledger in 31 seasons as the women's basketball coach at the University of Kansas.
Washington guided Kansas to 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Sweet 16 twice, as well as two WNIT showings and three AIAW Sectional finishes while reaching the 20-win plateau 17 times and claiming seven league titles and six conference tournament championships.
In 2003 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Black Coaches Association as well as being tabbed as Coach of the Year by the BCA in both 1992 and 1996.
