Teri Moren Wins Gold Medal with USA Basketball at FIBA U19 Women's Championship

Indiana women's basketball coach Teri Moren won the gold medal with Team USA at the FIBA U19 World Cup on Sunday as an assistant coach.

Even 28 wins and the best regular season in the history of Indiana women's basketball wasn't enough for Teri Moren, as the IU head coach just won a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U19 Women's World Cup championship on Sunday afternoon.

Moren was an assistant on the staff of USA Women's U19 National Team for head coach Joni Taylor, who also coaches the Texas A&M women's basketball team. Moren was on-site at Palacio de Deportes in Madrid to help the U.S. defeat Spain 69-66 in the final match.

It's the third straight gold medal the USA Women's U19 National Team has won at the event, and the second gold medal Moren has won. She won her first gold medal last year as an assistant coach for USA Basketball at the FIBA U18 Women's World Cup championship.

On the court, the team was led by Hannah Hidalgo — an incoming freshman at Notre Dame and a 2022-23 Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year finalist — and reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Cotie McMahon, who scored the go-ahead bucket in the final 30 seconds for Team USA.

Moren was named the 2022-23 AP National Coach of the Year following the Hoosiers' historic season, and she is the all-time winningest coach in the history of Indiana women's basketball, with 200 wins to just 93 losses during nine seasons in Bloomington.

Indiana fell short in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, being upset my No. 9 seed Miami during the Round of 32. However, the Hoosiers return almost every major contributor from last year's team aside from No. 7 overall draft pick Grace Berger, and should be a national title contender in 2023-24.
