Wisconsin native Tiffany Morton joined the Wisconsin women's basketball staff as an assistant coach in May 2023.
Morton, who played collegiately at Wisconsin-Whitewater, helped the Warhawks to the 2008 DIII Final Four, and brings over a decade of coaching experience to Madison.
"I am beyond excited to joinÂ
Marisa Moseley and her staff here at Wisconsin," remarked Morton. "She is a phenomenal leader and an incredible mentor to young women. She is a proven winner, who is committed to getting the best out of her players. It feels amazing to be home and I can't wait to get to work. On Wisconsin!"
Morton most recently spent the 2021-22 season at Rice, where she recruited and signed the No. 1 recruiting class in Conference USA and worked primarily with post players. Prior to her time in Houston, she spent three seasons at Georgia State, serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. During her first season in Atlanta in 2018-19, the Panthers recorded their most Sun Belt wins (11) since joining the conference and their most overall wins (17) since the 2003-04 campaign.
"As a native of Wisconsin, Tiffany knows what is means to represent the state," stated Moseley. "With a decade of player development and recruiting experience at the Division I level, I am so thrilled to welcome her as an assistant coach. Working primarily with the posts, she is dedicated and committed to her craft. Tiffany is a proven developer of young women on and off the court. Her energy and presence is contagious and she will be a wonderful addition to our program. I am confident she will help us achieve our team goals while guiding our student-athletes to greater heights. Please help me welcome Tiffany and her son Micah to our Badger family!"
Prior to her time at Georgia State, Morton coached at Mercer from 2015-18, guiding the Bears to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2018, and aided the team to a 79-19 record over three seasons. Additionally, the Bears won the 2018 Southern Conference championship and were ranked in the AP and Coaches Poll Top 25. Morton was instrumental in the development of Kahlia Lawrence, who was a three-time SoCon Player of the Year and was selected in the 2018 WNBA Draft.
Morton spent the 2014-15 season as an assistant coach at Wager, helping Jasmine Jwajei rank second in the NCAA in scoring average with 24.8 points per game. Prior to her time in Staten Island, she served as a graduate assistant at LSU, where the Tigers made the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
She also had stints as an assistant coach at Montevallo (2012-13) and as a graduate assistant at her alma mater, Wisconsin-Whitewater (2010-12).
