Danielle Durjan joined the Coppin State women's basketball coaching staff as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator in July 2023. Durjan spent the 2022-23 season as an assistant coach at Morgan State.
 
Durjan played a key role in the Bears earning a trip to the WNIT and setting a program-record with 11 home victories.  With her guidance, Charlene Sheppard and Ja’Niah Henson earned First Team All-MEAC and BOXTOROW All-America honors while Gabrielle Johnson was named to the All-Rookie Team.
 
In May 2023, Durjan was one of 46 participants selected for the 2023 NCAA Basketball Coaches Academy at the NCAA National Office in Indianapolis.
 
Prior to her time in East Baltimore, Durjan was an assistant coach for three years at CCBC Essex where she helped the Knights accumulate a 64-3 overall record, which included a NJCAA D2 record-breaking 53-game win streak and an undefeated record against conference opponents (32-0).
 
During her final season at CCBC Essex, Durjan was promoted to associate head coach, where her duties included recruiting, developing game scouting reports, facilitating daily practice plans and ideologies, contributing offensive schemes to the team's playbook, focusing on player academic success, and running social media accounts. Durjan also assisted in player development, specifically with the guards.

Some of the players Durjan worked with were NJCAA D2 All-American guards Kasey Gagan, Mya Moye, Lyric Swann, and Patricia Anumgba. Durjan's contributions helped the Knights reach the NJCAA Final Four, as well as a Region XX championship and Maryland JUCO Conference championship. The Knights also finished the season ranked third in the nation finishing the 2021-22 season with a 34-1 mark.

For the 2020-21 season, Durjan was promoted to recruiting coordinator. Unfortunately, the Knights’ season was canceled due to CoVID-19, but Durjan assisted in bringing in the highest-ranked recruiting class in program history with six Division I transfers.

Durjan's first season with the Knights was in the fall of 2019. The CCBC Essex did not have a women's basketball program in 15 years prior to Durjan and the staff's arrival, but the Knights finished 30-2 and won both the Maryland JUCO Conference and Region XX titles. They were granted an automatic bid into the NJCAA National Tournament.
 
A native of Gaithersburg, Md., Durjan was a three-year captain at Watkins Mill High School, where she averaged 21 points per game, scored more than 1,200 career points and was an All-Met Team selection by The Washington Post. She graduated from Towson University with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies.

Durjan was a four-year women's basketball student-athlete, spending one season at Sacred Heart (2015-16), one at Harford Community College (Md.) (2016-17), before finishing the final two seasons of her playing career at Towson University (2017-19).

At Harford, Durjan helped the Fighting Owls to a 29-4 record, and a conference and regional championship, while reaching the round of 16 at the NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship. That same season, Durjan earned NJCAA All-America honors. 

As a senior captain, Duran helped the Tigers to their first Colonial Athletic Association championship and first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament in school history in 2018-19. She finished her Towson career with 434 career points, 76 steals, 191 rebounds and shot 79 percent from the free throw line.
