LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head women's basketball coach Wesley Brooks announced on Tuesday the hiring of Michael Teasley as the chief of staff for USU's women's basketball program.
"I've known Mike for over 20 years," Brooks said. "Throughout that time, we have connected about basketball. We've always exchanged ideas about basketball, life, and business. Mike brings to us a wealth of experience, having coached a number one high school team in the country, having developed various WNBA players, and also having raised money in a variety of situations in high school and college. Mike's number one trait is his ability to connect with people and make them better. We are ecstatic to have him on board at Utah State."
Teasley has spent over 25 years in coaching at the high school and AAU levels, coaching both young men and young women. Teasley has led his teams to 10 conference championships, three state championships and was a two-time finalist for the Black Coaches Association National Coach of the Year and two-time Washington Post Loudoun County Coach of the Year. He has helped over 100 athletes receive athletic scholarships, which included nine Washington Post All-Met selections, three Parade and WBCA All-Americans and coached over 25 former players that continued their career professionally.
On a return to the Washington DC area, Teasley joined Team Durant Girls on the AAU circuit for the summer of 2025. Teasley served as the 15U Nike EYBL head coach joining his sister and former WNBA champion, Nikki Teasley.
At Trinity Collegiate in Darlington, South Carolina, Teasley led the program to the 2020-21 SCISA 3A Basketball State Championship. He was named 2020-21 Florence Morning News Coach of the Year 2020-21 and 2019-20 SCISA 3A Region III Coach of the Year.
Teasley served as video coordinator at South Florida and was part of the 2009 WNIT championship team led by Jose Fernandez.
As an assistant boys coach at St. James School in Hagerstown, Maryland, Teasley helped to build a program that won conference championships in his first five years with the program. Over 20 players graduated from St. James under Teasley and continued to play college basketball at the Division I, II, III levels, including Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Temple, Butler, Richmond, Pepperdine, George Mason, Mount St. Mary's, Shepherd College, and West Virginia Wesleyan.
At the high school level at Notre Dame Academy in Middleburg, Virginia, Teasley led the team to a No. 1 national ranking by ESPN, USA TODAY, and MaxPreps.com in 2007-08. In 2006-07, the team finished ranked fourth in the nation by ESPN, USA TODAY, and Scout.com., while finishing ranked first for the second-straight season by the Washington Post.
