"I am excited to welcome Mike to our program," Woods said. "His experience in recruiting, player development and basketball mind will add tremendous value to our already talented staff. Mike understands what it takes to build relationships with student-athletes and help them grow both on and off the court. His energy, passion and commitment to excellence make him a great fit for Norfolk State."
Before joining UNC Asheville, Moses spent the 2024-25 season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Winston-Salem State.

At the high school level, Moses led the St. Paul's High School girls' basketball program from 2017-21. He guided the Lady Bulldogs to a 27-1 record and a regular-season championship during the 2019-20 season, along with NCHSAA 2A regional championships in 2020 and 2021. He earned conference and county coach of the year honors three times each. Moses also coached with the Carolina Flames AAU program, including as head coach of the 17U EYBL team.

"I couldn't be more excited to join Coach Woods and the outstanding staff at Norfolk State University," Moses said. "Norfolk State women's basketball has established a tradition of excellence. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity and to do whatever it takes to help Coach Woods be successful. My goal is to serve this program in any way I can and help ensure NSU women's basketball continues to thrive on and off the court."
