Mercer University head women’s basketball coach Susie Gardner has announced the addition of Trelanne Moore to her staff for the 2015-16 season.
“We are pleased to complete our coaching staff with the addition of Trelanne Moore,” said Gardner. “She is originally from Macon, so we are excited that she will be able to promote our program and generate more interest from the great fans here in our town. Tre has been a head coach and has been responsible for all aspects of a basketball program, which translates nicely with our current staff. I am thrilled with all of our additions that have taken place this summer and I am looking forward to all of the new ideas that each coach will bring.”
Moore comes to Mercer after spending a year as the head assistant coach at Francis Marion University, a Division II school in Florence, S.C. While at Francis Marion, Moore’s duties included player development, recruiting, serving as an academic liaison, film coordination and public relations.
“I am very thankful to Coach Gardner and Mercer University for giving me this opportunity,” said Moore. “I am happy to be doing what I love and I’m able to do it right here in my home town. I’ve witnessed the vital role that Mercer has played in Macon’s growth and I’m anxious to work for Coach Gardner and to get back out and connect with the community.”
Prior to her time at Francis Marion, Moore spent three years as the head coach at Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City, Ala., where she was named the 2013-14 ACCC Southern Conference Coach of the Year. She guided the Chattahoochee Valley to a 2014 ACCC Southern Conference Championship after a second place finish in 2013 and a third place finish in 2012. Additionally, she recruited and guided the development of 2014 ACCC Southern Conference Player of the Year, Braxtyn Talton.
From 2009-2011, Moore served as an assistant coach at Chattahoochee Valley, helping CVCC claim the ACCC Southern Conference regular season title in 2011 after a fourth place finish in 2010. She also recruited Shan Basley, the 2011 NJCAA Honorable Mention/Southern Conference Player of the Year.
A Macon native, Moore played collegiately at Hiawasee Community College from 2000-2002 and Columbus State from 2002-2004. She also played at the professional and semi-professional levels for four seasons. Additionally, Moore was a graduate assistant coach at Columbus State for the 2007-2008 season, helping the Cougars to a 17-12 record.
