Now she’s at a place that hasn’t won in a long time. “Hopefully,” she said, “they’ll see I have a track record and I’m not just kind of blowing smoke.”
Moseley added that she hopes to convince in-state players to be part of something special.
“I want to be able to do something that hasn’t been done for a while,” she said. “It’s really easy a lot of times to just kind of jump on something that’s kind of been going. But it’s kind of cool to be able to leave a legacy at a place that hasn’t had it for a while and really make a name, not only for yourself but bring even more attention or respect to a place that is so revered by so many people.”
Geno’s influence
Moseley considers Auriemma a mentor and a friend. She said the thing that stood out to her about her time working with him was the culture he built, how it wasn’t just finding talented players but also “the right type of people.”
There was one Auriemma line she brought up twice during her news conference: “We don’t just do it right,” he’d say, “we do it until we can’t get it wrong.”
Comfortable in her skin
Moseley, the only African American head coach at UW, was asked about being one of two Black head coaches in the Big Ten and one of seven at a power conference program.
