Early life
Teri Moren was born in April 1969 to parents Barbara and Dick Moren and grew up with her sister Lee Lee in Seymour, Indiana. Her upbringing was characterized by a strong emphasis on hard work and a winning mentality, which laid the foundation for her successful career and achievements.
Teri Moren’s family lived in Seymour for a long time before eventually moving to Bloomington. In 2014, Teri immigrated to the city herself, and shortly after being named the Hoosiers’ head coach in August of that year, she packed up and moved to Indiana University in Bloomington.
As an amateur basketball player at Seymour High School, Moren began her career in humble ways. However, her offensive style of play quickly garnered attention and she achieved great success by being recognized with the 1987 Indiana All-Star and Female Athlete of the Year Awards.
