National Association of Basketball Coaches

Thrilled today to welcome in Coach Scott Moore, head men's basketball coach for the Grace College Lancers.

Coach Moore has been multiple Crossroads Leagues and NCCA National Coach of the Year honors, and an NABC/NAIA National Coach of the Year Award, 30 win seasons, NAIA Fab Four.

I, I could go on and on here, but Coach, welcome to the show.

Thanks, man.

There's just, there's a lot of distractions, I think.

So I think the world needs coaches right now more than ever.

One more culture related, and you've talked about the coaching from like a head coaching position, but I had the privilege opportunity to watch you guys at the NABC convention this year and the integration of the assistants and relying on the assistants and how have you gone about structuring things with your assistant coaches that can help create that synergy with the rest of the program?

I found out early on that not everything in basketball and teaching is like the most important thing in the world, right? There are some things.

Well, how did you hear about the induction? How'd you hear that you were going into the, uh, College Basketball Hall of Fame?

You know what? I got a, a call from Craig Robinson, the head of the NABC, and, um, it, it, it was a surprise.

I didn't, I wasn't thinking about it, um, at the time.

So it was, it was a really nice break in the, in the summer and, and a great honor.

... to shorten their career.

So I, I hope the NABC and the NCAA, maybe when some of this stuff settles down-

Yeah

...

So that's something we desperately need in our game.

I think the NABC does a great job.

Craig Robinson, Nate Pomaday, those guys are incredible trying to help our game.

But we need better, we need just clear, defined leadership in college basketball where we can improve these things.

Yeah, I would go as a college coach.

I've been a member of National Association of Basketball Coaches for many years.

But as a head college coach, it was always at the Final Four every year was the convention.

And I'll never forget, you may laugh at this, but I was assistant men's basketball coach at Grove City College, just north of Pittsburgh in Division III.

Danny Gavin and I worked so closely together in the Big East.

And then when I was with the NABC, we had everything solved back then, didn't we, Dan? I love it.

But it's good to be with everybody.

Oh, we're thrilled to have you.

So literally a week or two away from the class of 26 being done, this rule gets dropped.

And so many people I've talked to, the NABC begged the NCAA not to do it.

But coaches like Tom Izzo, they could foresee what was going to happen.

These kids had a right to be mad.
