Marisa Moseley resigned as the women's basketball head coach on March 9, 2025 following her fourth season with the program.

In four seasons, she guided the Badgers to a 47-75 overall record, including a trip to the 2024 WNIT quarterfinals, the school's first postseason appearance since 2010.

Upon her hiring as the head coach of the Badgers in 2021, one of her top priorities was establishing a new and lasting culture for the program. To do so, she established five pillars:

Winning Mindset
Integrity
Selflessness
Communication
Legacy

These pillars guide the holistic programmatic approach which places value in education, personal growth, and basketball.

Wisconsin Women’s Basketball
In her first three seasons at the helm, there has been an upward trajectory. Win totals have increased each season with the Badgers advancing to post-season play for the first time since 2010-11. Moseley led the Badgers to the team's seventh appearance in the 2024 WNIT advancing to Great 8 round.

In conference play, the Badgers earned six Big Ten wins for the second season in a row, their most since the 2010-11 season. The Badgers finished 10th overall in the conference standings, once again for the second season in a row.

Under the leadership of Moseley, sophomore Serah Williams picked up right where she left off from her outstanding rookie season. The sophomore picked up Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, All-Defensive Team and First Team accolades. Sophomore Ronnie Porter was named honorable mention all-Big Ten her sophomore season as well.

As Moseley heads into her fourth season with the Badgers, she hopes to keep building on this progress. In Moseley's first year on the Wisconsin bench, the Badgers won five Big Ten Conference games, and set a Big Ten record by coming back from a 22-point deficit to defeat Purdue on Feb. 13. Wisconsin set 12 school records during the 2021-22 season, including 3-pointers made in a game individually and for the team.

Academically, five Badgers have been named B1G distinguished scholars along with 13 academic all-Big Ten selections.

Moseley was named one of 40 Under 40: Rising Stars in women's basketball, according to The Athletic on Nov. 23, 2021.

Why Wisconsin

“I am thrilled to be a Badger and to lead this program back to great heights!"

- Marisa Moseley

“I am thrilled to be a Badger and to lead this program back to great heights! “Moseley said. "Wisconsin has a rich and storied tradition of success in all its sports, and I am confident that our women's basketball program will be joining those ranks in the future! I can't wait to meet my team and get started! As soon as I arrived in Madison and met the people, I knew this was a special place where I could plant roots. We have a wonderful community behind us, and I look forward to connecting with all the faithful Badger fans! On Wisconsin!”

“I could not be more thrilled about Marisa joining our Badger family,” UW Athletic Director Barry Alvarez said. “She has been a winner as a student-athlete, assistant coach and head coach. She values the student-athlete experience on the court, in the classroom and in the community. And she is a bright, engaging person who I know our student-athletes, fellow staff members, community members and fans will come to know and enjoy. I can’t wait for her to get started.”

Boston University
2019 Patriot League Coach of the Year
Moseley spent three seasons as the head coach at Boston University, her alma mater, where she guided the women’s basketball program to a 45-29 overall record. In the three seasons prior to her arrival as head coach, the program had built a 26-63 overall record. Moseley was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year after her first BU team finished fourth in 2018-19 after being chosen in the preseason to finish ninth. During the COVID-19 influenced 2020-21 season, she led her team to a 12-3 finish and a spot in the Patriot League conference tournament championship game for the first time in program history.

The Terriers were the second seed in the conference tournament the two seasons prior, winning the Patriot League North Division in 2020-21. Under Moseley's tutelage, Katie Nelson earned three-straight All-Patriot League team selections, highlighted by a first-team choice after ranking second in the league in assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio. In 2019-20, Moseley coached Maggie Pina to Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors while Pina, Maren Durant and Sydney Johnson earned all-rookie status.

Five National Championships at UConn
Moseley’s impressive resume includes a nine-year stint as an assistant coach at perennial power Connecticut. She was on staff at UConn while the program won five NCAA titles and appeared in the Final Four each season. Moseley helped coach three national players of the year and 11 All-Americans for the Huskies, which compiled a 331-14 record that included winning streaks of 111 and 90 games during her years with the program. While at UConn, Moseley served as a scout for the 2012 Olympic games in London for the women’s basketball program as they won their 5^th straight gold medal.

Moseley has Big Ten Conference experience, as well, having served as an assistant coach at Minnesota for two seasons, both of which resulted in NCAA Tournament appearances. She broke into coaching as an assistant at the University of Denver for two seasons, aiding the Pioneers to a 20-11 record her first season, their first 20-plus win season in six years.

Prior to joining the staff at Denver, Moseley worked a one-year stint as a production assistant at ESPN in Bristol, Conn., where she served as a creative contributor to shows such as SportsCenter, ESPNews and ABC NewsOne. During her time, she won the 2004 Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Studio Show – Daily for her work on Sportscenter.

Moseley was a basketball student-athlete at Boston University from 2000-04 where she earned third-team all-conference honors and helped lead her team to the school’s only NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003. The 6-foot-2 forward led the Terriers in steals and blocks shots and was voted the defensive player of the year by her teammates. A four-year member of the America East Honor Roll and team captain as a junior and senior, Moseley ranks third in all-time blocks with 114.

Moseley is a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, and earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from BU in 2004.
