Michaela Everett was named an assistant coach at North Dakota State on April 29, 2022.

Over her four seasons at NDSU, Everett has helped the Bison to their first-ever Summit League regular season title in 2026 along with the only appearances in the Summit League Tournament championship game (2024, 2026) in program history. She has been a part of several extended postseason runs with NDSU making its debut in the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT) for the first time in program history in 2026 as a top seed and advancing to the second round. The Bison also made three straight appearances in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) from 2023-25, including advancing to the 2025 Great 8 round against Troy.

In 2025-26, Everett guided the Bison to a 29-5 (15-1 Summit) overall record, which marked the most wins in the NDSU Division I era and most since the 1995-96 season. NDSU earned its first-ever No. 1 ranking in the Mid-Major Top 25 Poll in 2026 along with receiving votes in both the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and WBCA Top 25 Poll. The Bison closed out the 2025-26 season ranking in the top 25 nationally in free throws made per game (6th, 16.9), field goal percentage (8th, 47.8), winning percentage (8th, 85.3), scoring margin (9th, 18.6), turnovers per game (9th, 11.7), free throw attempts per game (12th, 22.1), scoring offense (20th, 78.4), and three-point percentage (21st, 35.5).

Everett helped NDSU to another 20-win season with a 22-12 (13-3 Summit) overall record in 2023-24. The Bison finished in second place in the Summit League and went on to appear in their first-ever Summit League Tournament championship game. NDSU closed the season winning its first WNIT game in program history over Montana and advanced to the WNIT Super 16 round against Minnesota. The Bison completed the 2023-24 season ranking in the top 30 nationally in three-point percentage (13th, 36.8), free throw percentage (21st, 15.03) and scoring offense (29th, 75.4).

Prior to NDSU, Everett spent one season at Dubuque in 2021-22 as an assistant coach and helped the Spartans to their first 15-win season since 2014-15. She assisted with the development of Karsen Kershner, who was an American Rivers Conference First Team selection and Defensive Player of the Year.

Everett also spent two seasons as the Director of Basketball Operations at Missouri State and two seasons at Northwest Missouri State as a graduate assistant and camp coordinator. She began her career as an undergraduate coach at Wisconsin. Everett played for the Badgers for three seasons from 2013-16 before injuries cut her playing career short.
