Email Coach Nason

Michelle Nason joined Terri Mitchell's staff in 1996-97, and with the exception of a one-year stint at Saint Louis University in 2001-02, has been an integral part of the Golden Eagles' coaching staff each season during her 12-year tenure. One of Nason's primary responsibilities is to oversee the wing players. It is a natural fit for Nason to work with Marquette's shooters after ranking among the top five in three-point shooting during her collegiate career.

She is involved in all facets of the program, with her primary focus on coordinating opponent scouting. Additionally, Nason is involved with off-campus recruiting and is the liaison to the strength and conditioning department.

Prior to joining Marquette's coaching staff, Nason was a standout at Bradley University. While at Bradley, she averaged 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists while ranking among the top long-distance shooters in the nation as a senior. She was selected to participate in the College Three-Point Shooting Championship at the 1995 Men's Final Four in Seattle, Wash.

Nason is the school's all-time leading three-point field goal percentage leader and ranks second all-time in free throw percentage (.906) and third all-time in scoring average (16.0) for the Braves. Ranking near the top of virtually every BU three-point shooting record list, Nason finished her four-year career with 1,597 points.

She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Bradley University in 1995. Nason also enjoys serving her community. She has worked with the Burn Camp of Wisconsin, Briggs & Al's Run & Walk and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
