Tom Moore enters his third season at Quinnipiac. Last season, Moore was named the CollegeInsider.com 2009 Northeast Conference Coach of the Year after guiding Quinnipiac a fifth-place finish in the NEC standings despite a rash of injuries. Quinnipiac upset No. 4 Long Island in the NEC Tournament on the Blackbirds home court before losing to the conference's top-ranked team, Robert Morris.

Moore also guided three players to All-NEC accolades. Junior James Feldeine and sophomore Justin Rutty became the first Quinnipiac duo to lead the conference in scoring and rebounding, respectively. Rutty received First Team recognition, while Feldeine was named to the Second Team and receiving the first Northeast Conference Most Improved Player Award in the league's history. Freshman James Johnson was also named to the All-NEC Rookie Team. Landing Rutty on the first team and Johnson on the all-rookie team, marked the second consecutive year that Moore had a player on each team. 

In addition to on-court honors, Moore was recognized by several members of the media for his coaching expertise. On March 19, 2009, he was an in-studio guest on WFAN's "Mike'd Up" with host Mike Francesa. Moore appeared on the show to discuss the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Its 11-7 mark in Northeast Conference play helped the Bobcats to a tie for fourth place in the conference standings. Under Moore's tutelage, DeMario Anderson was named First-Team All-NEC, while Evann Baker earned All-Rookie Team recognition.

A new chapter in the history of the Quinnipiac University men's basketball program commenced on March 29, 2007, when Moore was introduced as the sixth head coach in the 55-year history of the team. Moore brought two decades of collegiate coaching experience to Quinnipiac and took over as the Bobcats coach after spending the previous 13 years as a member of the coaching staff at the University of Connecticut.

During his time in Storrs, Conn., Moore helped build UConn into a national powerhouse and played a major role in guiding the Huskies to the 1999 and 2004 NCAA Division I Men's National Championships. Moore received accolades from several prominent sportscasters, such as Dick Vitale, Sean McDonough and Len Elmore, recognizing him as a top head coaching prospect for several years. Moore had also been mentioned by such national outlets as ESPN, Sports Illustrated and FoxSports as a candidate for a wide range of coaching positions over his final several seasons at UConn.

Under Hall of Fame head coach Jim Calhoun, Moore also helped lead perennially nationally ranked UConn to a 340-99 overall record in 13 seasons, as well as eight Big East regular-season titles, five Big East tournament crowns, and 12 straight national postseason tournament bids (1995-2006).

In his first seven years at UConn, his duties centered around the development of game strategy, practice planning and the organization of the Jim Calhoun Basketball Camp. In April 2001, Calhoun promoted Moore and his responsibilities then shifted more towards recruiting over the next three seasons. On October 10, 2005, Moore was named UConn's associate head coach, a title he carried for his last two seasons in Storrs.

Recognized as one of the top recruiters and evaluators of talent in the country, Moore either recruited or coached numerous current NBA players including Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Charlie Villanueva, Marcus Williams, Jake Voskuhl, Kevin Ollie, Hilton Armstrong and Josh Boone. The Huskies currently claim the most active NBA players (14) of any Division I program in the country. UConn's 2004 recruiting class, which included Villanueva, Williams and Boone, was the consensus #1 recruiting class by every major recruiting publication.

Prior to joining the staff at UConn, Moore served as the head coach at Worcester State College for five seasons (1989-94). At the time of his appointment, he became the youngest (24 years old) head coach of a collegiate program in New England. In his five years at the helm of the Lancers, Moore compiled a record of 76-59, the winningest five-year period in the school's history. His 1992-93 club, after posting a record of 19-8, was named the region's Most Improved Team by the New England Basketball Coaches Association and earned an ECAC Tournament berth. A year later, the 1993-94 team earned a spot in the NCAA Division III National Tournament by defeating Salem State in the MASCAC Tournament Championship Game. The tournament berth marked the first time Worcester State reached the NCAA Tournament in nearly 20 years. At Worcester State, Moore directed a high-scoring, fast-paced style of play, annually ranking WSC among the NCAA Division III leaders in scoring.

Moore also gained coaching experience as an assistant at Division II Assumption College (1988-89) and Worcester State (1987-88). During his two decades as either an assistant or head coach at the collegiate level, Moore has assembled a career mark of 441-187 (.702). Moore began his collegiate coaching career at 22 at Worcester State College under Paul Baker. His responsibilities in his first year were all encompassing including scouting, recruiting and practice planning. After one season there, he moved across town to Division II Assumption College where he worked for head coach Jack Renkens. There he was the New England Prep School recruiting coordinator and worked with the backcourt players in Renkens uptempo, fast-paced style of play.

A 1987 graduate of Boston University, Moore was selected to his post at Quinnipiac following an exhaustive nationwide search coordinated by DHR International, a leading, privately held provider of executive search solutions with more than 40 wholly-owned offices spanning the globe. Glenn Sugiyama, DHR executive vice president and global sector leader of sports; and Pat Richter, executive vice president, education and sports practice; oversaw the process in conjunction with Val Belmonte, Quinnipiac University vice president for athletic marketing and external relations, and Jack McDonald, director of athletics at Quinnipiac.
