 Matt
Moore is entering his third season at the
helm of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University
men's basketball team. The Cougars posted a
16-15 overall record in 2010-2011 in Moore's
second year at the helm and posted a 9-9
record in the American Mideast Conference.
Moore has now compiled a 29-31 record in his
first two seasons at MVNU.
Prior to
coming to MVNU, Moore spent four seasons as
the top assistant coach at Grace College in
Winona Lake, Ind. During Moore's time with
the Lancers, the program posted a 95-44
record and made back-to-back trips to the
Elite Eight in the NAIA National Tournament
in 2008 and 2009. In addition, the team
posted three consecutive 20-win seasons
during that span and also finished as the
National Christian College Athletic
Association National Tournament runner-up
twice in 2003 and 2007.
Besides
coaching at Grace, Moore was an assistant
varsity coach at Logansport High School from
2003-2006 where he worked under Indiana High
School Hall of Fame Coach Al Rhodes, and he
served as an assistant coach for the
McDonald's All-American Team in 2005 when
the game was played in South Bend, Ind. He
has also taken his knowledge of the game of
basketball overseas and has worked with
players and coaches in France, Germany, and
Kenya as part of missions trips that he has
taken.
Moore graduated from Grace in
2002 with a degree in Secondary Education.
As a four-year starter for the Lancers, he
dished out 660 career assists, which still
ranks fourth in program history. He also
compiled the fifth-highest single-season
assist total with 242 for an average of 7.2
per game. He went on to get a master's
degree in Physical Education at Ball State
University.
Moore took over a program
that had posted a 297-125 record (.704) over
the previous 13 seasons while topping the
20-win mark 12 times. The Cougars earned
eight berths in the NAIA Division II
National Tournament during that span
including four in a row for the first time
ever from 2006-2009. MVNU captured the NCCAA
national title in 2002 and finished as the
NCCAA runner-up in 2004. The Cougars also
won three AMC Tournament titles and the
program's only two regular-season conference
titles during that span.
Moore and
his wife, Anna, reside in Mount Vernon. The
couple has two daughters, McKenna and Mya.
In addition to coaching, Moore also teaches
in the Physical Education Department and
serves as an assistant to the athletic
director.
