Tim Moser enters his sixth season as an assistant coach with the Colorado State women’s basketball program in 2017-18.

Moser has been part of the staff during all five years of head coach Ryun Williams’ tenure. Over the past four years, Moser has helped guide Colorado State to an unprecedented four consecutive regular-season Mountain West championships, a feat no other women’s or men’s basketball team has accomplished in Mountain West history. Among other accomplishments in the past four season, the Rams have also won a conference tournament championship, made four postseason appearances and earned the program’s first postseason win since 2003.

Prior to his current stint as CSU assistant coach, Moser spent a combined 20 seasons as a head coach between women’s and men’s basketball at the NCAA Division II and NJCAA levels. As a head coach, Moser was 459-140 (.766) and won 13 conference championships en route to 12 conference or region coach of the year accolades. Combined with his totals as an assistant coach, Moser has coached 20 conference championship teams.

Three of those conference coach of the year honors and as many conference championships came in his most recent stop, a six-year stint as head coach of Alaska Anchorage women’s basketball. Moser elevated the Seawolves among the nation’s elite in NCAA Division II women’s basketball, tallying a record of 150-31 over six seasons. Moser’s .829 win percentage was the ninth-best of any active head coach over that stretch, regardless of NCAA division (I, II or III).

While head coach of the Seawolves, Moser’s athletes combined to receive two WBCA All-America honors, three WBCA All-America Honorable Mentions, a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection, four Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year accolades, two GNAC Championships MVP distinctions, five GNAC Newcomer of the Year awards, a GNAC Freshman of the Year honor, 18 all-conference nods and four WBCA All-West Regional accolades.

Prior to Moser’s arrival in Anchorage, the Seawolves had averaged 10.7 wins per season over their previous six campaigns (2000-06). In his first season at UAA (2006-07), Moser led the Seawolves to a 23-6 record, their first NCAA Division II Tournament victory in seven seasons and the eighth-largest turnaround of any Division II school that year. Moser earned his first Great Northwest Athletic Conference Coach of the Year accolade that season, an honor he would claim two more times in his tenure.

UAA went on to advance at least as far as the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament in each of his next five seasons as head coach, including consecutive Final Four appearances in 2008 and 2009 and a third NCAA Elite Eight berth in 2012. Among the team’s accomplishments over that stretch were three NCAA West Region titles, two GNAC regular-season crowns, two GNAC Tournament titles and a pair of 30-win seasons.

In Moser’s six-year stretch as UAA head coach, only two other Division II women’s programs posted as many victories as the Seawolves and none were ranked in the coaches’ top 25 for as many consecutive weeks (81). The Seawolves further distinguished themselves by dropping no lower than to a No. 19 ranking during those 81 weeks, a claim no other Division II club could make over that span.

The 2008-09 and 2011-12 Seawolves teams won over 30 games each, marking the winningest seasons in any sport in the history of UAA athletics. In 2011-12, the Seawolves won the GNAC title, finished No. 7 in the final national rankings and became the first basketball program - women’s or men’s – in conference history to sweep Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Freshman of the Year accolades. Moser was named GNAC Coach of the Year in each of those seasons, as well as WBCA West Region Coach of the Year in 2008-09.

Moser played his college basketball at UAA, and returned to coach there in April 2006 after his first head coaching job at Otero (Colo.) Junior College. While at OJC, he coached both the women and men, winning 74 percent of his games and nine conference coach of the year honors. Moser coached the OJC men exclusively the final two seasons after six years leading both teams, and finished his tenure with a 309-109 record.

Moser also made academics an emphasis for his teams, and at Alaska Anchorage, his players combined to earn 19 GNAC All-Academic honors. While at OJC, 15 athletes earned Academic All-America honors and 52 were named Academic All-Region. The men ranking among the nation’s top five teams in terms of grade-point average in five different season, while his women’s teams had a top-10 academic rank in all six of his season. All but one of his players earned a degree from Otero.

Moser is a graduate of CSU-Pueblo, earning his bachelor’s degree in social sciences in 1994. He has earned a pair of master’s degrees since, and is working toward his doctorate from Concordia.
