Robert Moore enters his second season as head coach of the Columbus State University men’s basketball program in the 2011-2012 season. Moore, the sixth head coach in CSU history, spent six seasons (1994-2000) as an assistant coach under coach under the Cougars’ all-time winningest coach, Herbert Greene.

Moore’s first season on the bench was filled with nail biting defeats as the Cougars went 11-15 on the season. Seven of the Cougars’ 15 losses were by five points or fewer, with 11 out of the 15 coming by 10 points or less.  Moore’s first NCAA career victory came against Carver Bible on November 22 as the Cougars defeated CBC 84-62.

Moore comes with 18 years of coaching experience - 10 of those in a head coaching role, the most recent five years spent at Brookstone School in Columbus as the head boy’s basketball coach. Prior to his stint at Brookstone, Moore was the head coach at Tift County High School in Tifton, Georgia. While at Tift County, Moore was named Georgia Sportswriters Association 5A Boy’s Coach of the Year after he led his team to the state championship. He accumulated a record of 47-12 and won back-to-back region titles at the school.  

Moore served two seasons as the head coach at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and set a school record for wins in a season with 21 in 2002 before making the move to Tift County. That record was the best men’s basketball record at the school since 1982.

In the six seasons as an assistant coach to Herbert Greene at Columbus State, Moore was a part of two NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen appearances, one Peach Belt Conference championship, and three PBC Tournament championships. During that span, CSU appeared in the PBC Tournament title game five times and made three overall NCAA postseason appearances.

Moore has one daughter, Basharra, who is a CSU student, and also has a son, Tre.
