DeLisha Lachell Milton-Jones (born September 11, 1974) is an American retired professional basketball player and head coach of Old Dominion.

Milton-Jones began her professional career in 1997 with the Portland Power, who drafted her second overall in the American Basketball League (ABL).

After the dissolution of the ABL in 1998, Milton-Jones entered into the 1999 WNBA draft and was selected fourth overall by the Los Angeles Sparks.

In her seventeen-season WNBA career, she has played for the Los Angeles Sparks (1999–2004, 2008–2012), the Washington Mystics (2005–07), the San Antonio Stars (2013), and the New York Liberty (2013–14).

[2][3] Milton-Jones represented the US at the 1997 World University Games held in Marsala, Sicily, Italy, in August 1997.

The national team traveled to Berlin, Germany, in July and August 1998 for the FIBA World Championships.

In the first game, the Americans dominated almost from the beginning, but in the rematch, the Russian team took the early lead and led much of the way.

In 2005, she was traded to the Washington Mystics in exchange for Chamique Holdsclaw and a first-round draft pick in the 2004 off-season.

[17] She became the second woman (after Ashley McElhiney) to coach a men's professional basketball team when, in 2005, she took over the ABA's Los Angeles Stars.

On March 29, 2017, she was named the head coach of Pepperdine Waves women's basketball replacing Ryan Weisenberg.

Conference tournament champion Milton-Jones appeared in the 2000 movie Love and Basketball as Delisha Milton.
