Arizona State's Darrell Mosley named Coppin State women's basketball coach
Coppin State announced Monday afternoon that it has hired Arizona State assistant coach Darrell Mosley to lead the women's basketball program. Mosley has worked at the college level for 15 years and was the coach at Division II Lincoln (Pa.) for six years. Advertisement 'I am honored to join the Coppin State family and lead the women's basketball program into its next chapter,' Mosley said in a statement distributed by the university. 'I'm committed to building a culture of excellence both on and off the court that reflects the pride and spirit of Coppin State University. I would like to thank President Dr. Anthony L. Jenkins, Director of Athletics Derek Carter, and the selection committee for entrusting me with this opportunity and I can't wait to get to work.' Mosley replaces Jermaine Woods, who was hired on April 4 by Norfolk State to helm his alma mater. In three seasons under Woods, the Eagles compiled a 39-55 overall record and a 21-21 mark in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Coppin State went to a league tournament semifinal in 2024 — its first since 2016. This past winter, it went 19-15, its most wins since the 2012 team won 20, earned a school-record 10 nonconference victories and qualified for its first postseason tournament since 2009. The Eagles defeated Colgate, 58-48, in the first round of the WNIT before falling to Cleveland State, 72-70, in the second round. Mosley's three years with the Sun Devils included the past two as associate head coach. This past season, he helped shooting guard Jalyn Brown, a Baltimore native and St. Frances graduate, and point guard Tyi Skinner received All-Big 12 honorable mention status. Advertisement In March 2023, Mosley was recognized on the Advancement of Blacks in Sports (ABIS) Women's Basketball Black Coaches Watch List. And in December, Mosley was one of 32 coaches nationwide selected to participate in the 2025 Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Next Generation Institute, an initiative for experienced assistants who aspire to become college head coaches. Born and raised in Chester, Pennsylvania, Mosley played basketball at Delaware State from 2006 to 2008 and chipped in to the Hornets' march to a regular-season Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title and WNIT appearance in 2007. He then transferred to Lincoln for two more seasons and became the team's starting point guard and team captain. After graduating in 2010, Mosley remained with the Lions as an assistant coach on the men's basketball staff for five years. In 2014, Lincoln registered its first 20-win campaign as a Division II school and won the 2014 Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament title. A year later, Mosley made the switch to women's basketball as head coach and compiled 82 victories from 2015 to 2021 — the second-most in school history. He guided the program to three consecutive semifinals of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament and was named the league's Coach of the Year in 2020. Advertisement Mosley spent one year at Delaware, contributing to that school's run to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament championship in 2022 and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2013.
