Tom Moore, a key part of the UConn men's basketball team's success for 21 seasons over two different tenures and several job ***** les, will be calling an end to his career.
Moore boasts four national championship rings as an ***** istant coach, two under Jim Calhoun and two under Dan Hurley. He initially joined Calhoun's staff in 1994 and spent 13 seasons as an ***** istant and key recruiter, helping the Huskies to national ***** les in 1999 and 2004. In 2007, he headed down to Quinnipiac to take over the head coaching reins and lasted 10 seasons.
Moore was fired from Quinnipiac in 2017 and joined Hurley's staff at Rhode Island. The following season, he followed Hurley to UConn and was an ***** istant on the 2023 and 2024 repeat national ***** le teams.
Prior to last season, Moore took over the program's newly-created general manager position, in which he handled name, image and likeness (NIL) and transfer portal issues, among many other duties.
Moore, 61, was simply tired of the day-to-day grind that the new world of college athletics has unleashed. For example, barely an hour after the Huskies had lost to Michigan in the national championship game, the transfer portal opened. Throughout the entire flight back to Connecticut, Hurley asked Moore about the amount of money the program might have for this player, for that player. The next day, less than 24 hours after the championship game, the entire staff was back at the Werth Family Champions Center.
