Charli Turner Thorne (born March 10, 1966) is the Arizona State Sun Devils head women's basketball coach. She is the winningest Sun Devil coach since the team was established (343-208) and, in 2009, stood as No. 4 in the Pac-10/Pac-12 in terms of most career wins.
Turner Thorne studied psychology at Stanford University where she played basketball under Tara VanDerveer. She graduated in 1988 with a bachelor's degree and later studied for a master's degree in education at the University of Washington, graduating in 1990. She is married to Will Thorne and they have three children.
Turner Thorne began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Washington in 1988, then an assistant coach at Santa Clara in 1990. In 1993, Turner Thorne became head coach at Northern Arizona, winning consecutive seasons in 1994-95 and 1995–96, the first time the school had accomplished this. She then took a job coaching at Arizona State University for the start of the 1996 season. Turner Thorne has led the Arizona State women's basketball team to the NCAA Tournament seven times. This achievement is four more than in the 15 years prior to her arrival as coach.
In the 2004-05 season, the Sun Devils under Turner Thorne gained a 24-10 overall record and its first NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance in 22 years. The team also gained a record of 25-9, which met the single-season school record for most wins at that time. ASU shared the Pac-10 title in 2001 and the inaugural Pac-10 Tournament title in 2002, the first league championships the school had achieved.
