Coaching career edit

On March 27, 2001, Moe was named the 16th head men's basketball coach at Emporia State University.[5] During his tenure at Emporia State, Moe was known for having a temper. During the 2003–04 season, Moe led the Hornets to a 22–6 record and finished ranked 22nd in the nation, leading the team to its first-ever NCAA Tournament postseason appearance.[6] In December 2007, Moe was suspended for one game due to getting thrown out of a home game and knocking over the opposing team's water cooler at William L. White Auditorium.[7] Moe stepped down at the end of the 2011 season to move to Delaware where his wife and children live.[7]
