Kelsi Musick (born January 28, 1980) is an American basketball coach and former player who is the current head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks women's basketball team.[1] Musick (nee Bond) and her husband, Josh Musick, have three children – sons, Maddox and Titus, and one daughter, Amaria.[2]
Early life and playing career
[edit]Musick was born and grew up in Canton, Oklahoma, where she graduated from Canton High School.[1] Musick went on to attend Cameron University, graduating in 2002, after four-years playing for the Aggies women's basketball team.[1] She set school records for career three-point shooting percentage and assists. As a senior, she helped lead the Aggies to a school record 25 wins and the program’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament. She was inducted into the Cameron University Athletics Hall of Fame in February 2025.[3]
Coaching career
[edit]Musick was the head coach of the Southwestern Oklahoma State Bulldogs for thirteen seasons, from 2010 to 2022. During her tenure at the Divison II school, she coached her team to a Great American Conference (GAC) division title in 2021 (the only year the conference had divisions), three GAC regular season championships (2018, 2019, 2022), four GAC Tournament championships (2012, 2014, 2019, 2022), six appearances in the NCAA Division II tournament, and a national runner-up finish in 2019. She was named the GAC coach of the year five times.
Musick then accepted the head coaching position at Oral Roberts and would coach the lady Golden Eagles for three seasons, from 2023 to 2025. Her teams improved every year she was at ORU, and they made post-season appearances in the WNIT in 2024 and the WBIT in 2025.
On March 24, 2025, Musick was hired as the 10th women's basketball head coach in University of Arkansas program history.[4]
