Wanda Richardson is in her 15th year as a member of Nancy Funk's coaching staff at Johns Hopkins. During her time at JHU, the Blue Jays have posted a 301-105 (.751) record, made eight NCAA tournament appearances, won four Centennial Conference titles and played in eleven Centennial Conference title games.
In addition to the team's success during Richardson's time at Johns Hopkins, the Blue Jays also boast 34 All-Centennial Conference selections, 16 All-University Athletic Association selections, three Centennial Conference Players of the Year, and two All-American picks throughout Richardson's tenure.
Prior to coming to Johns Hopkins, Richardson coached high school AAU national basketball and the Morgan State softball team for six years. A 1985 graduate of Morgan State, Richardson was a three-year member of the women's basketball team.
Richardson's primary responsibility at Hopkins is helping to develop the post players. She was instrumental in the development of Julie Anderson (`98), who remains the only player in school history to earn first-team All-America honors.
Richardson's husband, Ed, is an assistant coach with the Hopkins men's basketball team. They have a 22-year-old daughter, Erin, who graduated from Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, last year.
