Tom Moore is an American college basketball coach currently serving as an assistant coach for the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies men's basketball team. He is recognized for his long tenure as a high-level assistant and his decade-long period as a head coach at the Division I level.
Moore's career at UConn began in 1994 when he joined the staff of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun. During his first thirteen seasons with the program (1994–2007), Moore served as an assistant coach and was later promoted to associate head coach in 2005. During this period, he was part of the coaching staff that secured NCAA National Championships in 1999 and 2004. He earned a reputation as a primary recruiter for the program, assisting in the acquisition of numerous players who eventually transitioned to the National Basketball Association (NBA).
In 2007, Moore was named the head coach of the Quinnipiac University Bobcats. He led the program for ten seasons, from 2007 to 2017, compiling an overall record of 162–146. His tenure included four 20-win seasons and several appearances in national postseason tournaments, such as the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). In 2010, after leading Quinnipiac to its first Northeast Conference (NEC) regular-season title, Moore was named the NEC Coach of the Year.
Following his departure from Quinnipiac in 2017, Moore returned to UConn to join the staff of head coach Dan Hurley. In his second stint with the Huskies, Moore has been an integral part of the coaching staff that won consecutive NCAA National Championships in 2023 and 2024.
