Teri Moren Steps Down as Indiana Hoosiers Women’s Basketball Coach, Appointed to Board of Trustees
BLOOMINGTON, IN – In a surprising announcement today, Teri Moren, the highly successful head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers women’s basketball team, has resigned from her coaching position. Simultaneously, the university revealed that Moren has been appointed to a newly created role on the Indiana University Board of Trustees.
Moren, who led the Hoosiers to unprecedented success during her tenure, cited a desire to pursue new challenges and contribute to the university in a broader capacity as her primary reasons for stepping down. Her nine seasons at the helm saw the program reach new heights, including multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and significant improvements in national rankings.
“This was not an easy decision,” Moren stated in a press conference this afternoon. “Coaching the Hoosiers has been the honor of a lifetime, and I am immensely proud of what we accomplished together. However, I believe this is the right time for me to transition into a new role where I can continue to serve Indiana University.”
The university’s announcement of Moren’s appointment to the Board of Trustees underscores her significant contributions to the institution beyond the basketball court. Her leadership, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence have earned her widespread respect within the university community.
“Teri Moren is a remarkable leader and a true asset to Indiana University,” said University President Pamela Whitten. “Her insights and experience will be invaluable as we move forward. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Board of Trustees.”
The search for Moren’s replacement as head coach is expected to begin immediately. The university will likely conduct a nationwide search to find a successor who can maintain the program’s momentum and build upon Moren’s legacy. The university is committed to finding a coach who shares Moren’s dedication to both athletic success and academic achievement.
Moren’s departure marks the end of an era for Indiana Hoosiers women’s basketball, but her appointment to the Board of Trustees ensures her continued involvement in shaping the future of the university. Her legacy as a highly successful coach and a dedicated leader will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations of Hoosiers.
