A native of Monroeville, Ohio, Moore played college basketball at Wittenberg University, graduating in 1974.
Moore retired from coaching following the Fighting Scots' loss in the first round of the 2019-20 NCAA Division III basketball tournament.
[4] Under Moore's guidance, Wooster had a record of 522 wins and 113 victories in the 2000s, which made the Fighting Scots the winningest NCAA Division III team of the century.
[12] Other Wooster standouts of the Moore era include players like Bryan Nelson (2003 NCAA Division III Player of the Year, by NABC), Erich Riebe, Ian Franks, Ryan Gorman, Dan Fanelly, Stan Aukamp, Justin Hallowell, Danyon Hempy,[13] John Ellenwood[14] and Doug Thorpe.
Before a game against rival Wittenberg in 2001, Moore ended up breaking his hand in practice when diving for a ball in order to demonstrate to his players the type of intensity he was looking for.
