Air Force men’s basketball coach Dave Pilipovich announced today that Andy Moore has joined the program as an assistant coach. Moore replaces Silvey Dominguez, who resigned earlier this month to become an assistant coach at Washington State.
Moore, 44, recently finished his second season on the men’s basketball staff at Virginia Tech. The 2013-14 season was his first as an assistant coach after spending the 2012-13 season as the Hokies’ director of basketball operations. He joined the Tech staff in June of 2012 following four years at Eastern Michigan University. Moore moved into game operations during the 2011-12 academic year after spending the three previous seasons as a full-time assistant coach at EMU. This was Moore’s second stint at EMU, as he served as the director of basketball operations from 2000-02.
“I am very excited that Andy has agreed to join our program,” said Pilipovich. “We coached together at Michigan and Eastern Michigan and he really impressed me with his knowledge of the game and interaction with student-athletes. I feel he is a perfect fit at Air Force.”
Moore spent the 2007-08 season as a men’s assistant basketball coach at Bowling Green State University and the previous five years as an assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Michigan. While with the Wolverines, he spent four years as an assistant coach and one season as the director of basketball operations. During his tenure in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines registered three 20-win seasons and had an overall record of 98-65 in those five seasons. Michigan won the postseason National Invitational Tournament (NIT) title in 2004 and advanced to that tournament’s championship game in 2006.
Before making the short move to Ann Arbor, Moore spent two years as the director of basketball operations at EMU. His resume also includes four years at California University of Pennsylvania, from 1996 until 2000. After serving as an assistant coach for his first three years, he was promoted to assistant head coach for the 1999-2000 season.
