MM 7.21: Laura Harper named head women’s basketball coach at Coppin State

Former Maryland women’s basketball star Laura Harper will be the next head coach of Coppin State’s women’s basketball program, the university’s athletics department announced Monday.

“It is a dream come true to be named the new head women’s basketball coach at Coppin State University,” Harper said. “I am very thankful for the special opportunity ... Having a platform as a woman of color, while coaching at an HBCU during this racially sensitive time in our country, inspires me, and I am beyond ready to help lead this group of committed, young women into a new era of Eagles basketball.
