In 1987, a year after Moe graduated from college, Moe left for the University of Kansas where he spent a season as a graduate assistant on the 1988 championship team.[2] After a year in Kansas, Moe left to become an assistant coach at Texas Tech University for three years.

Coaching career

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]
