Ronald Moore (born July 14, 1988) is an Americanbasketball coach and former player, currently an assistant coach for thePenn Quakers of theIvy League. Whilst playing collegiately forSiena, he led theNCAA Division I inassists during his senior season (2009–10).
Moore attendedPlymouth-Whitemarsh High School inPlymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. In his senior season, Moore averaged 17 points, 8 assists, and 2 steals, which earned him an All-Southern Pennsylvania Third Team selection byThe Philadelphia Inquirer.[1]
His height, culminating at 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), and his weight, less than 160 lb (73 kg), reportedly deterred major colleges from recruiting him, with offers solely frommid-majors.[2]In December 2005, his Plymouth Whitemarsh coach contactedSiena – anNCAA Division I college in theMetro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) - head coachFran McCaffery to talk up Moore. McCaffery, who thought Moore was already recruited, came down to watch him play (with Moore collecting 15 assists in that game) and sent him a scholarship offer soon after.[3]
Moore debuted againstStanford on 11 November 2006, posting 10 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals off the bench.He started 27 games over his freshman season, leading the Saints in minutes (31.2 minutes) and assists (4.9, third-best in the MAAC), adding 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.[1]
He posted a MAAC-third best 5.3 assists per game in his sophomore season, adding 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals in nearly 32 minutes per game.Moore contributed 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in theNCAA tournament upset of Vanderbilt.[1]
He led the MAAC in assists for his junior year, with 6.4 per game (twelfth best nationally) on his way to Second Team All-MAAC and All-MAAC Tournament Team selections.[1]Two three-pointers in theNCAA tournament game againstOhio State, the first to tie the game in the first overtime and the second to win the game with 3.9 seconds left in the second overtime, allowed Siena to progress to the Second Round. During Moore's second three-pointer, CBS Sports basketball analystBill Raftery made his memorable call of "ONIONS! Double order!"[4]Moore proceeded to have "one of the best 1-for-10 shooting performances", posting 10 assists for 2 turnovers as he evadedLouisville's press, though that was not enough to topple the No. 1-seed.[5]
As a senior in 2009–2010, Moore was a First-team All-MAAC selection.[6]He had 9 points and 6 assists againstFairfield in theMAAC tournament final to help Siena win the tournament for the third consecutive year.[7]Moore led the entire NCAA Division I in assists duringthe season with 261 assists (7.7 per game), he finished his career with an MAAC record 823 that also ranked 23rd all-time best in the Division I.[8]
