NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
08/20/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Illinois at Chicago has named
Howard Moore, a University of Wisconsin assistant coach, as the school's new
head basketball coach.
The 37-year-old Moore, a native of Chicago, grew up a few blocks from the UIC
campus. He served the last five seasons as an assistant coach for the Badgers,
his alma mater, under Bo Ryan.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to coach at UIC, be back in my
hometown, and continue the legacy and tradition of UIC basketball," Moore
said. "I am deeply honored and humbled by the opportunity, and I vow to use
every ounce of energy I have to get UIC back to the top of the Horizon League
and competing for championships."
Moore replaces Jimmy Collins, who announced his retirement last month after 14
years at the school. He leaves as the all-time winningest coach in school
history with a 218-208 record and guided the Flames to three NCAA Tournament
appearances (1998, 2002, 2004) and one NIT bid (2003).
