Moser previously held the head coaching position at Illinois State (2003–2007) and Arkansas-Little Rock (2000–2003).

During his high school career, Moser helped lead Benet Academy in suburban Lisle to a 70-14 (.833) record in three years on the varsity roster, playing for coach Bill Geist.

The Naperville native led Benet to three West Suburban Catholic Conference titles and was a three-time all-conference and two-time all-area selection.

[3] From 1998 to 2000, Moser was an assistant coach at Arkansas–Little Rock, under Wimp Sanderson in his first season and Sidney Moncrief in his second.

In his introductory press conference, Moser said that he aspired to make Loyola Chicago into a Horizon League contender similar to Butler.
