In this installment of Team Behind the Teams, we meet
Charmelle Green, a former Utah softball All-American and member of the Utah Athletics Hall of Fame who returned to her alma mater as Deputy Athletics Director for Internal Operations and Chief Operating Officer this past March.
A veteran of more than 20 years in intercollegiate athletics administration and coaching, Green had spent the previous 10 years at Penn State, most recently serving as Senior Associate A.D. for Student-Athlete Performance, Health and Welfare, and Senior Woman Administrator.
Before then, Green worked 10 years at the University of Notre Dame, with her final role being head of the Office of Student-Athlete Welfare & Development and the sport administrator for women's swimming & diving. She was an assistant softball coach for the Fighting Irish from 2001-05.
Green's collegiate coaching career began as a volunteer assistant at Utah in 1996 before moving on to full-time assistant coaching positions at Colorado State (1999) and Syracuse (2000-01), and ultimately Notre Dame.
During her Utah playing career, Green was a First-Team All-American in 1990 and a Second-Team choice in 1991. She was also named the 1991 Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year after leading the Utes to the College World Series.
A 1991 Utah graduate with a degree in mass communications/public relations, Green earned a master's degree in secondary education in 2003 from IU South Bend. She is married to Dr. Matthew E. Mooney, who joined the University as the Director for Digital Learning Services in June 2021.
