Lang steps down as head women's basketball coach after 20 seasons at Brooklyn
April 19, 2023After 20 seasons guiding the Brooklyn College Women's Basketball program, Alex Lang will be stepping down as Head Women's Basketball Coach, ending a historic era for the Bulldogs. Lang will continue with Brooklyn College in his role as Associate Director of Athletics. The Bulldogs are coming off of completing a three-peat as CUNYAC Champions, making their fourth trip to the NCAA tournament in five seasons, and extending their win-streak to 46 games against conference opponents. Lang ends his 20-season coaching career with 340 wins, the all-time leader in CUNYAC women's basketball. Coach Lang's legacy puts him in an elite class of coaches not only at Brooklyn College and the CUNYAC, but in the entire NCAA. A replacement will be announced in the near future. "When I arrived at BC in 2002, I was determined to turn the program around and achieve greatness," said Lang. "Seeing those goals achieved has been amazing and brought me a sense of accomplishment and pride, however, it is the people who I have worked with, coached and mentored over the years, and the memories that we share, that I cherish most of all. Stepping down from coaching is a difficult decision, but I am confident that the program will continue to flourish. What we have built here is bigger than me, it is the culmination of so many incredible student-athletes and coaches who sacrificed for the good of the team and made Brooklyn College Women's Basketball what it is today."
