Mickie DeMoss Biography

Mickie DeMoss is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on October 3, 1955 in Delhi, Louisiana, United States. Mickie Faye DeMoss, born October 3, 1955, is an American college basketball coach. She was also a former player. On May 17, 2016, she was appointed women’s basketball assistant coach at Louisiana State University. She was the former head women’s basketball coach at the University of Florida, and the University of Kentucky. She was also an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech University and University of Tennessee. DeMoss was inducted in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame as a Contributor-Assistant Coach in 2018. She is currently the chief of staff at Georgia Tech women’s basketball.

DeMoss was a Kentucky coach whose first priority was to recruit. Her first team was widely considered by many to be one of the top 10 teams in the country that year. The Wildcats saw a rise in season ticket sales to more than 3,000. They also had the highest average attendance of nearly 5,200. Despite their 11-16 record in 2003-04 the team made significant improvements, with an average margin of defeat in SEC play of nearly 9 points.

The Wildcats, returning all five starters, were ranked 15th in the 2006-07 AP preseason poll, the first preseason ranking for Kentucky in the history of the AP women’s poll.

DeMoss’s breakthrough season with Kentucky proved to be her third year in the 2005-06 season. She entered with one of the youngest team roster in women’s college basketball: one senior supported by nine freshmen and sophomores. The team set a new program record of nine conference wins, including a landmark 66-63 win over then top-ranked Tennessee at Rupp Arena on January 26, 2006; the program placed its highest conference rank since the 1980s at fourth. This enabled the team to return to national ranking since their last time in 1993. The Wildcats returned to the NCAA Tournament having waited seven years; they won in the first round against Chattanooga before losing in the next round to Michigan State. After the season, DeMoss was named SEC Coach of the Year by both her fellow coaches and the Associated Press. Her record at Kentucky at the end of the season was 51-42.

The Wildcats won their first season since 1999-2000, going 18-16. They had a strong showing in 2005 Women’s National Invitation Tournament. However, they lost to West Virginia in the semi-finals in double overtime.

Pat Summitt hired DeMoss as her top assistant at Tennessee in 1985. In her 18 years in Knoxville, DeMoss led the Lady Vols to 13 Final Fours and six NCAA Women’s Division I Basketball Championships. She played an important role at Auburn as well as being the official recruiting coordinator.

DeMoss returned to the head coaching ranks in 2003, taking on the job at the University of Kentucky. The Wildcats had fallen off considerably from their glory years of the early 1980s, when the then-LadyKats were regularly competing for Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors. In the two years before DeMoss came to Lexington, the Wildcats had won a total of 20 games. The Wildcats had averaged little over 1,000 in per-game attendance.
