Tulane Women’s Basketball has added four members to its staff ahead of the upcoming 2025-26 season. The Green Wave will feature three new assistant coaches as well as a new Director of Operations under the direction of Head Coach Ashley Langford.
Camille Collier joins as an assistant coach, coming to Tulane after spending three years as an assistant coach at Arizona State. Collier played basketball at Wake Forest and has worked at Virginia Tech, Hofstra, Radford, and Jacksonville.
She was a 2025 Next Generation Institute Recipient for the NCAA Final Four in Tampa and helped Virginia Tech towards a No. 5 seed in the tournament, the highest in program history. She hopes to win a championship with Tulane and help Coach Langford build on the program’s success.
“I’m excited about being a part of the rich tradition of the women’s basketball program and helping to make the alum proud,” Collier said.
Coach Langford is optimistic about the insight Collier will bring to Tulane.
“Camille is a tremendous addition to our staff. I’ve known her for a long time, and she brings a wealth of experience from wearing many hats throughout her coaching career. Having both played and coached at a high level, she understands exactly what it takes to help a program succeed—on and off the court. That kind of insight and dedication is a huge asset for our program.”
Tulane will bring in Ke’Sha Blanton as the new recruiting coordinator and assistant coach. Blanton joins the Wave from the Air Force Prep Academy and brings with her 14 years of DI coaching experience. She hopes to help Tulane towards championships and winning seasons.
“My goal is to help Coach Langford – her drive and excitement for the program is infectious,” Blanton said.
Coach Langford is confident in Blanton’s future contributions to the program.
“Ke’Sha is a ball of energy and brings a dynamic presence to our staff. She’s incredibly experienced, having served as a head coach twice in her career. Her work ethic and ability to connect with people are unmatched. Ke’Sha will make an immediate impact on our recruiting efforts and in building strong relationships throughout Tulane and the New Orleans community.”
Donnie Stith is joining the Green Wave as an assistant coach, coming from seven seasons at Howard University. He also holds 8 high school and AAU coaching seasons.
Stith is a Tulane alum, having played basketball for the Wave from 2004-08, and is thrilled to return to his alma mater. He also played three years professionally overseas in Ireland, Austria, and Malaysia. At Tulane, Stith looks to emphasize development and contribute to a winning program with long-term success.
Coach Langford is happy to have another Wave join her in the effort.
“I’m really excited to have another Tulane alum join our staff. Donnie comes from a winning program and truly understands what it takes to succeed. His playing experience—both at Tulane and professionally—will resonate with our players, and that’s important because we’re committed to developing pros.”
Finally, Olivia Fouty will serve as the new Director of Basketball Operations. Fouty comes to Tulane after serving as the Women’s Basketball Director of Operations at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. She worked as an assistant coach at New Mexico Highlands and Hawai’i Pacific and as a graduate assistant at Wheeling University, where she earned her MBA. Fouty had an impressive career as an athlete, playing basketball at Eastern Michigan, TAMU-CC, and professionally in Spain.
She is excited to explore the rich traditions of the city and work with the student athletes.
“Olivia is a proven winner as both a player and a coach. Her outgoing personality, work ethic, and eye for detail will bring instant value to our program and make a strong presence in the community,” Coach Langford said.
