Mickie Faye DeMoss (born October 3, 1955) is an American college basketball coach and former player. She became assistant women's basketball coach at Louisiana State University on May 17, 2016. She is the former women's head coach at the University of Florida and the University of Kentucky. She is also a former assistant coach at Louisiana Tech University, University of Tennessee, University of Texas, Auburn University, Memphis State University, and the WNBA's Indiana Fever.
DeMoss was born in Delhi, Louisiana. After a standout high school career, she went to Louisiana Tech University, where she started at point guard for her final three years. Immediately after her graduation with a physical education degree in 1977, she began her coaching career as an assistant at Memphis State (now Memphis). In 1979, she became the first full-time women's basketball coach in the history of the University of Florida. After four seasons and a 45-68 record, she left to become an assistant at Auburn University under Joe Ciampi. In both of her seasons at Auburn, they made the NCAA Tournament. More importantly for the direction of her career, she established herself as a top-notch recruiter. In the four seasons (1985–1989) after she left Auburn, players she helped recruit gave the Lady Tigers a 119-13 record and went to two Final Fours.
In 1985, DeMoss was hired by Pat Summitt to be her top assistant at the University of Tennessee. During her 18 seasons in Knoxville, the Lady Vols went to 13 Final Fours and won six NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championships. As at Auburn, she played a key role as a recruiter, this time as the official recruiting coordinator.
