Former assistant basketball coach Howard Moore ’95 was honored on court before a men’s basketball game on March 2. It was his first return to the Kohl Center since a 2019 accident that killed his wife and daughter and seriously injured him. At halftime, UW athletics announced that new offices in the Kohl Center will be named the Howard Moore Family Men’s Basketball Offices. Moore played for the UW from 1990 to 1995, helping to return the Badgers to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1947; and he served as assistant coach from 2005 to 2009 and 2015 to 2019. “Howard Moore represents everything it means to be a Badger,” says UW athletic director Chris McIntosh ’04, MS’19. “His impact here is deep, and his legacy should be attached to this program forever.”
