McCaffery praised Moore’s leadership on the court and believes his professional experience in Europe will benefit the Penn Basketball team. Moore, a Philadelphia area native, is excited to work with his former coach and help bring the program back to its former glory as an Ivy League powerhouse.
As a player at Siena College, Moore was instrumental in the team’s three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and MAAC championships. He graduated as Siena’s all-time assists leader and received numerous accolades for his performance on the court. Moore was inducted into the Siena College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017.
