“CT” Carla Taylor is a former two-sport Wildcat athlete and had a storied career as a head coach at Weber State. She has been connected to Weber State for the past 45 years.
CT was the head coach of the Weber State women’s basketball team for 23 years from 1988-2011, and still ranks as the all-time leader in coaching wins.
She led the Wildcats to 308 wins in 23 seasons as head coach, which still ranks as the second-most wins in Big Sky Conference history. She also won 180 conference games, which is also the second-most all-time.
A native of North Powder, Oregon, Taylor came to Weber State in 1980 to play basketball and was also a member of the Wildcat women’s track and field team. She played four seasons for the Wildcat basketball team and scored 1,122 points in 107 career games from 1980-84.
In track and field, she competed in the javelin at the NCAA Division II Championships in 1982.
Following her playing career, Taylor went into coaching. After stops at Morgan High and the University of Utah, she became the head coach at Weber State in 1988 at the age of 26.
She spent the next 23 years leading the Wildcat program. During her career, she coached 23 players to Big Sky first-team honors and three conference MVPs. She was also named the Big Sky Coach of the Year three times.
In 2002 and 2003, Taylor led the Wildcats to back-to-back Big Sky regular season championships and back-to-back conference tournament titles and trips to the NCAA Tournament.
In 2002, the Wildcats won a then-school record 22 games and won their first-ever Big Sky title with an 11-3 record. Weber State hosted the conference tournament at the Dee Events Center and defeated Eastern Washington and Montana State to win the tournament and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time.
The following season, the Wildcats were 21-9 and again won the conference title at 11-3. They hosted and won the tournament again to advance to another NCAA Tournament.
In her career, she guided the Wildcats to 10 seasons of at least 15 wins, including three seasons of more than 20 wins. The Wildcats finished in the top three in the Big Sky eight times.
CT has been synonymous with Weber State for the last 45 years and continues now as an analyst for the ESPN+ broadcasts of Wildcat women’s basketball.
