Tang has been on Scott Drew’s staff at Baylor for 19 seasons, spending 14 seasons as an assistant before his promotion to associate head coach. He also won four games as interim head coach over the years.
Together, Drew and Tang built Baylor from a program marred by scandal into one of the top programs in the country. The rebuild culminated in a National Championship in 2021 and a pair of Big 12 titles.
