Marisa Moseley will join the Minnesota women’s basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach, Golden Gopher head coach Pam Borton announced today. Moseley, previously an assistant coach at the University of Denver, replaces Danielle O’Banion, who accepted a head high school coaching position in her home state of Virginia.
“Marisa is an up-and-coming young talent in the coaching profession,” said Borton. “We are excited to have Marisa join our Golden Gopher family. She has an energetic personality that is valuable on the recruiting trail and one that everyone around our program will enjoy. She’s a great fit for our staff.”
Moseley, who will work with the Gopher post players, spent the 2006-07 season at Denver, helping the Pioneers to a 20-11 record, their first 20-plus win campaign since 2000-01. Her responsibilities included assisting with the Pioneers’ recruiting and team travel, as well as monitoring the players’ academic progress. In addition to her coaching duties, Moseley was a member of Denver’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. The committee was instrumental in the establishment of a new associate athletic director position overseeing diversity and community relations.
Prior to joining Pam Tanner’s 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.
A 2004 graduate of Boston University with a degree in sociology, Moseley completed her four-year (2000-04) playing career as the program’s third-leading shot blocker totaling 114 blocks. The defensive specialist earned All-America East Conference Third Team honors in 2002-03 after leading BU in both steals and blocked shots. Moseley also helped the Terriers to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2003 and was voted the defensive player of the year by her teammates. Moseley was a four-year member of the America East Honor Roll and served as a team captain in both her junior and senior seasons.
Moseley has also served as a skills instructor at the basketball camps at BU, Connecticut, Holy Cross and Syracuse.
