Morgan Toles returned to her Alma mater as the team's assistant coach on July 13, 2020. She will begin her seventh season in 2026-27.Â
Since her return, Toles has helped the Seminoles to five NCAA appearances and three 20-win seasons.Â
While primarily serving as the team's defensive coordinator, Toles has guided Makayla Timpson to national prominence during the 2024-25 season, where she was a semifinalist for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and finalist for the Katrina McClain award.  Timpson set FSU single-season record for blocked shots in the 2023-24 season with 87 and surpassed that mark as a senior with 103. She also holds the program record for single-season rebounds at 350 and is the only Seminoles to grab 300 or more rebounds in a single season, twice in her career.Â
Timpson is a three-time member of the ACC All-Defensive Team and was selected 19th overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever.Â
Toles spent four seasons with Kent State from 2016-20, mentoring the team’s point guards, serving as the Golden Flashes’ recruiting coordinator and guiding the school to plenty of success. In the 2019-20 season, Kent State won its second Mid-American Conference East Division Title under Toles, while two of her guards in Megan Carter and Katie Shumate earned All-MAC recognition. Shumate was the first freshman to earn All-MAC honors at Kent State since 2008.
Year after year, Toles found a way to make an enormous difference. In 2018-19, former Kent State player Naddiyah Cross became the first Kent State player to total 100 or more assists in consecutive seasons since 2011.
In 2017, Toles was named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s Thirty Under 30 List. after assisting in one of the best turnarounds in the country when the Golden Flashes clinched their first MAC Division East Title since 2004-05.
Toles, who hails from Fayetteville, Ga., spent two seasons as a student-athlete at Florida State from 2011-13, then three seasons as a student assistant (2013-14) and graduate assistant (2014-16). In her years as a G.A. with the Seminoles, FSU put together its best season in school history with a 32-5 record and an NCAA Elite Eight appearance in 2014-15. The Seminoles followed that with a Sweet 16 appearance in 2015-16.
In her senior year in 2012-13, she totaled 127 assists to just 54 turnovers (2.4 A/T) while helping FSU to the NCAA Tournament. Her 127 assists in 37 games played is ties for 20th in program history
