The Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball are currently without a head coach after the resignation of Marisa Moseley who has been with the team since 2021. Her resignation comes at the heels of a failed season and controversy on how she managed the players.
It might not be vacated for long as the school is already searching for a replacement while some experienced coaches put forward their names for the job.
University of Wisconsin-Madison might want to take a look at their very own Tamara Moore who took to X to express her desire to inherit the job left by Moseley who is regarded as a trailblazer in the field.
She wrote:
I would like to apply for the head coaching position at Wisconsin. My pride & passion for my Alma mater runs deep. I ❤️ this team & I truly believe I can bring something new to the sideline. My journey is not typically but my knowledge of the program & the past success is strong.
Her post was positively received by many Badgers fans with some saying she is a perfect for the job.
