MaChelle Joseph

MaChelle Joseph (born January 13, 1970) is the women's basketball coach for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's basketball team.

Joseph arrived on the Flats after serving as an assistant coach and the recruiting coordinator on Joe Ciampi's staff at Auburn from 1997-2001. She helped guide the Tigers to a combined 97-50 record in five seasons and the second round of the NCAA Tournament on three occasions. Each of the last four recruiting classes she helped attract to Auburn were ranked in the top-10 nationally by the All Star Girls Report, including the Tigers' 2001 class that was ranked the nation's second-best.

Before joining the Auburn coaching staff, she coached at her alma mater, Purdue, from 1994-96 under Lin Dunn and helped the Boilermakers post a sterling 73-24 (.753) record in three seasons. Purdue advanced to the Final Four in 1994 and followed that performance with a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight in 1995. Joseph also served one year (1993) as an assistant at Illinois.

As a four-year starter for the Boilermakers from 1989-1992, she was known as one of the most decorated players in Purdue and Big Ten Conference history as she garnered numerous conference and national accolades. After earning Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors as well as second-team all-conference accolades in 1989, she was a first-team all-Big Ten selection in 1990, 1991 and 1992 and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year as a senior. She also earned Kodak All-America honors in 1992, when she was tabbed the Women's Basketball News' College Player of the Year. She finished her career first on the Big Ten all-time scoring list and was the only player in conference history to rank in the top-10 in both points and assists. Joseph helped the Boilermakers reach the NCAA Tournament all four years, including the school's first appearance in 1989 and a pair of trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1990 and 1992.

A native of Auburn, Indiana, Joseph graduated from Purdue in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in movement and sports science.
