Joseph Julius Legerski (born July 24, 1957) is the head women's basketball coach at the University of Wyoming.
Legerski earned a bachelor of science degree in business education from the University of Wyoming in 1979. After graduating from Wyoming, Legerski became a boys' varsity basketball assistant coach at Rock Springs High School, a position he would hold for five seasons. From 1984 to 1986, Legerski was the head women's basketball coach at Rock Springs High School from 1984 to 1986. After one season as head women's basketball coach at Western Wyoming Community College, Legerski was an assistant with the Wyoming Cowgirls basketball team from 1987 through 1991.
From 1992 to 2003, Legerski was assistant coach at the University of Utah under Elaine Elliott; he was associate head coach from 1998 to 2003. During his time as an assistant, Utah won three conference tournament championships combined in the Western Athletic Conference (1991 and 1995) and Mountain West Conference (2000).
Named head coach at Wyoming on May 1, 2003, Legerski is the sixth head coach in team history. He has led the Cowgirls to seven 20-win seasons, most recently a 20-11 overall record and a 10-8 mark in the Mountain West in the 2013-2014 season.
Legerski is married and has three children, including stepson Zane Beadles, currently an offensive guard in the NFL.
