    Indiana Director of Athletics Fred Glass announced Moren as head coach of the Indiana women's basketball program on August 9, 2014. During her first year as head coach during the 2014–15 season, the Moren led Hoosiers made 236 three-point field goals, the second best total in school history at that time, and also the top five in program history in free throw percentage (4th), points scored (5th, 2,229), points per game (5th) and 3-point field goal percentage (5th, 33.1 percent). The following year, during the 2015–16 season, Moren led the Hoosiers to the most regular season wins (20) in program history to that point while also tying for overall wins (21) in a single season. Indiana captured the school's second-most Big Ten victories (12) ever and Moren earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors. That season the Hoosiers earned the program's first NCAA Tournament berth in 14 years and finished fourth in the Big Ten, the school's highest conference finish in 18 years. The team went a perfect 14–0 at home in Assembly Hall, marking the most home wins ever without a defeat and tying for the most overall home victories in a single year in program history.
    During her third year with the program, the 2016–17 season, Moren's Hoosiers finished with an overall record of 23–11, 10–6 in Big Ten play (4th place), and a birth in the Women's National Invitation Tournament, where they advanced to the quarterfinals. The following year, the 2017–18 season, Moren's Hoosiers finished the season 23–14 overall and 9–7 in Big Ten play (4th place). They were invited to the Women's National Invitation Tournament where they advanced to the finals and defeated Virginia Tech for the championship. It marked Indiana's third-straight season winning 20 or more games. The Hoosiers also set a new single season average attendance record (4,102) and the single-game attendance record of 13,007 during the WNIT Championship game.
    In her fifth season leading the program, 2018–19, the Hoosiers finished 21–13 overall and 8–10 in Big Ten play. They received an at-large bid to the 2019 NCAA women's basketball tournament where they defeated Texas in the first round before losing to Oregon in the second round. The following year, the 2019–20 season, Moren's team went 24–8 overall and 13–5 in the Big Ten (4th place). Indiana was ranked in both national polls for much of the season, including all 20 weeks of the Associated Press top 25 where it topped out at a program-record ranking of No. 12, but postseason play was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    In her seventh year with Indiana, the 2020–21 season, the Hoosiers went 21–5 overall and 16–2 in the Big Ten (2nd place), a program record for conference wins at the time. Indiana spent most of the year highly ranked in various polls, topping out at number 9 before NCAA tournament play. In the NCAA tournament that year, the Hoosiers beat top-seeded North Carolina State in the Sweet Sixteen before losing in the Elite Eight.
    Following the 2020–21 season, Indiana announced a second extension to Moren's contract with Indiana, though it had actually been signed even before the season ended. Under terms of the deal, her average annual compensation is $862,500 through the 2026–27 season. Her base salary is $375,000, plus additional compensation for outside marketing and promotion income, which starts at $425,000 in 2021 and increases in increments of $25,000 each year through the 2026–27 season. Moren also stands to earn money from bonuses, including $15,000 for winning (or tying for) the Big Ten regular season title, $15,000 for winning the Big Ten Tournament, and three months' worth of base salary (approximately $94,000) for winning the NCAA title. The contract also contains a non-compete clause that would require Purdue to pay the school $10 million if she left to coach there. The contract makes Moren one of the top-paid coaches in the Big Ten.
    In Moren's eighth year, the 2021–22 season, the Hoosiers finished 24–9 overall and 11–5 in Big Ten play. All five starters earned All-Big Ten honors in the annual postseason awards including All-Big Ten first team Grace Berger. The Hoosiers maintained a ranking inside the top 15 throughout the season, rising to as high as No. 4 in the Associated Press and No. 5 in the coaches poll. The team received a No. 3 seed in the 2021 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, where they advanced to the Elite Eight.
    In the 2022–23 season, Moren guided the program to a 28–4 overall record, its first Big Ten regular season championship in 40 years, and its first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The team's success also produced substantial attendance growth at games. After averaging 2,708 per game in the year prior to Moren's arrival, average home attendance reached an all-time best of 8,104 per game in 2022–23 season, a 199% increase compared to 2013–14. And after previously ranking near the bottom of the Big Ten in attendance, Indiana ranked second in the Big Ten and in the top 10 nationally. Moren was awarded with increased compensation of more than $1.3 million annually, ranking her second in the Big Ten and among the top coaches nationally. She was named the 2023 AP College Basketball Coach of the Year. Moren's contract was extended by two years thru the 2028–29 season and includes more significant performance bonuses.

    Moren served as an assistant coach for the gold-medal-winning Women's U18 National Team that competed at the 2022 FIBA Under-18 Women's Americas Championship. Prior to that she served as a court coach for the 2021 Women's U19 World Cup trials.


    Coaching philosophy


    On the court, Moren's players describe her as possessing a tough, strong philosophy that expects the most out of her players. But off the court, players describe her as open and communicable with teams that feel like a family. Moren places a priority on academics with a mantra of "Graduate. Win. Serve." With the Hoosiers, her players have earned 42 Academic All-Big Ten selections and seven CoSIDA Academic All-District honorees.
    Moren said her mom wanted her to emulate Pat Summitt's coaching style: "'If you are going to be a coach, be like Coach Summitt.' You know, tough and hard-nosed but classy." All-American Hoosier Mackenzie Holmes described Moren as "a badass. . . You can see her passion, her competitiveness, her energy, every single game and it doesn't change. It's infectious."


    Personal life


    A couple months after Moren took the Indiana job, her mom Barbara died from ALS. Hoosier women's basketball became her siblings and father's sanctuary. Moren is a big fan of fellow Seymour native John Mellencamp. She said his music reminds Indiana natives that they may go anywhere in the world, but "you can find your way back. There's something about being able to do what we've done here with the support of the people that have watched you grow up."
