Career

[edit]

Born in Los Angeles,[4] Moore grew up in Southern California. He played basketball at Redwood High School, before transferring to Lemoore High School.[5] While attending Dixie Junior College in St. George, Utah, Moore "was accused of date rape", according to The Washington Post.[6] The Associated Press reported, that "rape charges weren't filed because prosecutors couldn't prove it didn't involve consensual sex. Moore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct."[7]

A 6'8 forward, Moore transferred to the University of Nevada in 1993. He was Nevada's leading scorer in 1993–94,[8] averaging 19.2 points per contest and also pulled down 8.2 rebounds per outing.[9] He was subsequently named to the All-Big West Second Team. In 1994–95, he grabbed a team-high 6.8 rebounds a game.[8] In November 1994, he was arrested "on suspicion of three misdemeanor battery charges involving an attack on a woman", according to The New York Times.[10] Moore denied the allegations.[11] In March 1995, he was sentenced to six months in jail. In July 1995, Moore was freed from house arrest.[5]

Moore played professionally in China (Zhejiang Golden Bulls, CBA),[12] Hungary (Budapesti Honvéd SE, 1996-1997),[4] Luxembourg,[13] Portugal (Illabum;[14] Povo de Esgueira, 1997-98; Estrelas, 1998-1999),[15] Poland (Śląsk Wrocław, 1999-2000),[16] and Denmark (Værløse/Farum, 2001-2002; BF Copenhagen, 2002-2003). He played in the FIBA Korać Cup with Honvéd.[4] In the 1997-98 season, Moore won the Portuguese cup competition Taça da Liga with Povo de Esgueira[17] and was named Most valuable player of the Portuguese league LCB.[14] With Esgueira, he participated in the FIBA Korać Cup and played in the FIBA Saporta Cup with Estrelas in 1998-99.[4] While under contract at Śląsk Wrocław, Moore also saw action in the FIBA Saporta Cup.[4] In 2002, he captured the Danish national championship and the Danish cup competition with Værløse/Farum.[18] In the 2002-03 season, Moore won the Danish cup competition with Copenhagen, scoring 25 points in the final against the Bakken Bears.[19] With the Danish team BF Copenhagen, he participated in the European club competition FIBA Champions Cup,[20] besides games in the domestic league.[21] While playing in Europe, he also got into coaching, working as youth coach for the clubs he played for.[22] His last stop as a professional basketball player was at BF Copenhagen (Denmark) in the 2002-03 season. When the team went bankrupt, he returned to the US.[23] In 2010, he was named head boys basketball coach at El Diamante High School in Visalia, California.[22]

In 2018, Moore accepted the head coaching job at Randers Cimbria in Denmark's Basketligaen.[24] He received Basketligaen Coach of the Year honors in 2019–20. Moore had coached Randers to a 19–5 record, his team was sitting in second place of the Basketligaen table, when the 2019–20 season was stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[25] After two years at Randers, Moore signed with fellow Basketligaen side Svendborg Rabbits in May 2020.[26] He guided Svendborg to a third-place finish in the 2020–21 season and was named Basketligaen Coach of the Year the second straight year.[27] In April 2022, Moore won the Danish Cup title with Svendborg.[28] He left the Rabbits in June 2022 for personal reasons.[29]

In July 2022, he signed with Randers Cimbria of Denmark's Basketligaen returning for a second stint in charge at the club.[30] He helped the club to a bronze medal in the 2022-23 Basketligaen season and for the third time in his career was the recipient of the Basketligaen Coach of the Year distinction.[31] Moore parted ways with Randers Cimbria in 2023.[32]
