Career

Born in Los Angeles,[2] Moore grew up in Southern California. He played basketball at Redwood High School, before transferring to Lemoore High School.[3] While attending Dixie Junior College in St. George, Utah, Moore "was accused of date rape", according to The Washington Post.[4] The Associated Press reported, that "rape charges weren't filed because prosecutors couldn't prove it didn't involve consensual sex. Moore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct."[5]

A 6'8 forward, Moore transferred to the University of Nevada in 1993. He was Nevada's leading scorer in 1993–94,[6] averaging 19.2 points per contest and also pulled down 8.2 rebounds per outing.[7] He was subsequently named to the All-Big West Second Team. In 1994–95, he grabbed a team-high 6.8 rebounds a game.[6] In November 1994, he was arrested "on suspicion of three misdemeanor battery charges involving an attack on a woman", according to The New York Times.[8] Moore denied the allegations.[9] In March 1995, he was sentenced to six months in jail. In July 1995, Moore was freed from house arrest.[3]

Moore played professionally in China (Zhejiang Golden Bulls, CBA),[10] Hungary (Budapesti Honvéd SE, 1996-1997),[2] Luxembourg,[11] Portugal (Illabum;[12] Povo de Esgueira, 1997-98; Estrelas, 1998-1999),[1] Poland (Śląsk Wrocław, 1999-2000),[13] and Denmark (Værløse/Farum, 2001-2002; BF Copenhagen, 2002-2003). He played in the FIBA Korać Cup with Honvéd.[2] In the 1997-98 season, Moore won the Portuguese cup competition Taça da Liga with Povo de Esgueira[14] and was named Most valuable player of the Portuguese league LCB.[12] With Esgueira, he participated in the FIBA Korać Cup and played in the FIBA Saporta Cup with Estrelas in 1998-99.[2] While under contract at Śląsk Wrocław, Moore also saw action in the FIBA Saporta Cup.[2] In 2002, he captured the Danish national championship and the Danish cup competition with Værløse/Farum.[15] In the 2002-03 season, Moore won the Danish cup competition with Copenhagen, scoring 25 points in the final against the Bakken Bears.[16] With the Danish team BF Copenhagen, he participated in the European club competition FIBA Champions Cup,[17] besides games in the domestic league.[18] While playing in Europe, he also got into coaching, working as youth coach for the clubs he played for.[19] His last stop as a professional basketball player was at BF Copenhagen (Denmark) in the 2002-03 season. When the team went bankrupt, he returned to the US.[20] In 2010, he was named head boys basketball coach at El Diamante High School in Visalia, California.[19]
