Description

Carrie Moore came to basketball later than most of her peers, when a friend and neighbor’s love of the game rubbed off on her. She quickly made up for lost time, learning from her high school coach Frank Orlando, who’d go on to win almost 800 games. Carrie became a leader on the floor and then scored over 2,000 points at Western Michigan University, where she led the nation in points per game in her senior year.After graduating, Carrie’s sharp shooting earned her a spot in the WNBA, where she played for the Phoenix Mercury and Chicago Sky. Carrie also played pro in Poland. Once she called time on her playing career, Carrie moved from the floor to the sideline. She cut her coaching teeth in assistant roles at Creighton, Princeton, Michigan, and North Carolina, also overseeing recruiting. After Kathy Delaney-Smith announced her retirement after 40 years as head coach at Harvard, the Crimson tapped Carrie to replace her after she helped Michigan reach the Elite Eight. In her first season, Carrie led Harvard to 20 wins and a run in the WNIT.In this episode, Carrie reveals:How legendary high school coach Frank Orlando became like a grandfatherWhy she adopted his “believe it” motto and uses it at HarvardWhat she learned from Courtney Banghart aboutHow she coaches young women to win the game of lifeWhich 4 core values guide the Harvard women’s basketball programHow she recruits effectively in the age of NIL and the Transfer PortalKeep up with Carrie’s journey and Harvard women’s basketball by following her on Twitter at  @CoachMoore33
