Ricky Moore is now a high school coach

[CL82]

Talks about his current gig in high school coaching, does not go into detail on issues preventing him from being college coach although alludes to people behind the scenes making it difficult for him to land a job.

Talks about current and past UConn players he recruited such as Whaley, Carlton, and Alterique. Says he is not on bad terms with UConn and hopes to come up to a game soon (says he didn't attend 1999 team ceremony a couple years ago for reasons not specific to UConn).

Goes into some detail what he has been up to the last 3 years.

Thanks. Just listened, it was interesting.

FWIW, I always told my kids "a lot of life happens in the margins" and, if I understand him correctly, I think that is what is happening here. I hope it all works out for him. I always appreciated his outstanding effort his senior year. His defense was otherworldly.

Chief wishes Ricky nothing but the best. Always was a class act when he was around. Chief enjoyed spending time with his dad in St Petersburg, great guy too. He said before the game that Ricky and the team were locked in and he was 100% correct.

Thank you for posting interesting listen for sure. Great guy and seemingly fighting some BS that he doesn't deserve. Just like the player he was I expect his fight back to coach collegiately to be a success but in the meantime I hope these NC HS kids understand how lucky they are to have him as their mentor, teacher for as long as it lasts they are a lucky group of young men.

Relative to fighting the BS he doesn't deserve, he basically says another coach on the staff ran the bus over him. I didn't sense any animosity in his tone when referring to KO or Killings. I don't recall -- were there rumblings of Miller or some other staff member implicating Ricky in wrong-doing? Miller and Ollie certainly had a falling out...
