Jackie Moore

TitleAssociate Head Coach
Jackie Moore promoted to associate head coach in May 2017 after serving as assistant coach for five seasons on Charli Turner Thorne’s staff. 

Moore, who originally joined the Sun Devil coaching staff on June 14, 2012, has more than 20 years of coaching experience having also served as an assistant at UMass, Boston College, Miami (Fla.) and Nevada. Since arriving on staff, Moore’s instruction and recruiting have been instrumental in ASU’s current run of a school record seven consecutive 20-win seasons (2014-20). That stretch includes a school record six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances – ASU was preparing for its seventh straight trip to NCAAs before the cancelation of the 2020 NCAA Tournament due to COVID-19 – and a share of the 2016 Pac-12 regular season championship. ASU’s recent NCAA Tournament success was punctuated by reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2015 and 2019.

"I'm extremely excited about the opportunity to work with one of the nation's top programs," Moore said when she joined Charli Turner Thorne's staff. "Since my first conversation with Charli I knew she was someone who I wanted to work with. She is a very sincere and honest person, who cares deeply about her players and staff.

"Everything you need to achieve a high level of success is in place here - outstanding leadership and support staff, top-notch facilities and a group of people who are committed to doing their best every day."

"Our program definitely got better with the addition of Jackie Moore to our coaching staff," said Turner Thorne. "Jackie is a great teacher on the floor, who brings a diverse background of experience that will take our recruiting efforts to the next level. While her proven track record speaks for itself, what really stands out about Jackie is her incredible character and enthusiasm and the passion she has for developing student-athletes not only on the basketball court, but in the classroom and in the community. "

Moore returned to the coaching ranks after spending the previous three years as a member of Walmart's store operations management team.

"I really missed being around the players and in the gym during my time away from coaching," said Moore. "I missed the relationships and the development of turning student-athletes into future leaders. I had other offers to return to coaching the last few years, but getting to work with a program like ASU's is what I had been waiting for and I'm extremely grateful and humbled for this opportunity."

Moore's most recent coaching stop was at the University of Nevada, where she was an assistant coach for three seasons (2005-08). During her time at Nevada, where she served as recruiting coordinator, the Wolf Pack had unprecedented success as it made its first postseason appearance in school history in 2006-07.

Prior to joining Nevada, Moore spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Miami (Fla.) where she served as the co-recruiting coordinator, organized scouting and developed perimeter players in helping the Hurricanes reach the NCAA Tournament in 2004.

In 2002-03, Moore served on a coaching staff that helped guide Boston College to its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in school history as it finished the season with a 22-9 record.

Prior to her stint at BC, Moore spent three years as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts. With the Minutewomen, she was responsible for the team's recruitment of prospective student-athletes, scheduling and scouting opponents and supervision of the team's pre- and post-season conditioning programs.

For six seasons (1993-99), Moore was the head coach at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida. Moore began her coaching career at her alma mater, Armstrong State College in Savannah, Ga., where she was an assistant for two seasons.

A four-year starter at guard - two years a Santa Fe CC and two years at Armstrong State - Moore earned her B.A. in Psychology from Armstrong State in 1991. The Panama City, Fla., native added a master's degree in Health Science from Georgia Southern University in 1993.
