Marisa Moseley has resigned as the Wisconsin women’s basketball coach after four seasons.
The announcement came Sunday, four days after the Badgers (13-17) were knocked out in the opening round of the Big Ten tournament.
Associate head coach Margaret McKeon will serve as interim coach in the event that Wisconsin receives an invitation to the Women’s NIT.
Athletic director Chris McIntosh said Moseley informed him of her decision to resign on Friday.
“I want to thank Marisa for the commitment she demonstrated as head coach of our women’s basketball program,” McIntosh said in a press release. “She had a clear passion for coaching our student-athletes and she worked hard to bring success to our program. I wish her well as she transitions to the next chapter of her life.”
Moseley, 42, compiled a 47-75 overall record at Wisconsin, including 21-51 in Big Ten play.
Moseley, who was 45-29 as the head coach at Boston University from 2018-21, cited personal reasons for stepping down.
“It has been a privilege to lead the program at Wisconsin,” Moseley said in the press release. “I am grateful for the student-athletes, coaches and staff in our program who have put in so much time and effort. I am appreciative, also, of the Badger fans who supported us at the Kohl Center and around the country.”
A former player, Tessa Towers, accused Moseley and her staff of mistreatment in a post on social media earlier this year. Moseley denied the allegations at the time.
