In May 2026, Minyon Moore was named the ninth head coach of the Long Beach State women’s basketball program, bringing championship experience, elite defensive expertise and a proven record of program development to the Beach.

Moore joined Long Beach State after three seasons at TCU, where she helped transform the Horned Frogs into a national contender. During the 2025-26 season, TCU finished 32-6 overall and 15-3 in Big 12 play, captured its second consecutive Big 12 championship and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the second straight year. Since Moore’s arrival in 2023, TCU recorded an NCAA-leading 26-game improvement, emerging from an 8-23 season into a national power.

At TCU, Moore worked with the team’s guards and directed the defensive strategy. The Horned Frogs consistently ranked among the Big 12 and national leaders in field goal percentage defense, 3-point defense and blocked shots.

Before joining TCU, Moore helped lead Sacramento State to a school-record 25 wins, the program’s first Big Sky Tournament championship and its first NCAA Tournament appearance from 2021-23.

Moore also enjoyed a decorated playing career. She was a three-time All-Pac-12 Defensive Team selection after competing at USC and Oregon. At Oregon, she helped the Ducks win Pac-12 regular season and tournament championships. Originally from Hercules, California, Moore graduated from Salesian High School in Richmond, where she helped lead the program to a North Coast Section championship. She earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from USC and a master’s degree in advertising and brand responsibility from Oregon.
