Coach Carrie Moore Creighton

Carrie Moore 2007 NCAA Scoring Champion

Jay's Assistant Coach Carrie Moore, one of the finest people I have ever met in or outside of basketball.

GraceAnne and I got to know Carrie when she was Director of Basketball Operations at Princeton University. Coach Moore was kind enough to work with Grace and taught her many of the fundamental skills she needed. She created a foundation that Grace continues to build on today.

Carrie Moore continues to be a mentor, a source of encouragement and support, and a role model for GraceAnne. I'm very pleased that my daughter looks up to someone with such integrity and high character as Coach Carrie Moore.

Coach Moore is currently an Assistant Coach at Creighton University. We would love to see Carrie back on the East Coast where we could see her more often.

When Grace is going through a tough time I can always count on Carrie to give her encouragement and more importantly perspective.

"Tell Grace to keep fighting. It will get better...

Tell her to believe in herself. Confidence is half the battle."

..."sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been, to stand back up taller than you ever were."

Creighton Jay's Assistant Coach Carrie Moore is a very special person.

Carrie Moore Going Strong To The Basket

Carrie Moore is back for her second season as an assistant coach on the Creighton women’s basketball staff.  Prior to her move to Omaha, she spent two seasons as the director of basketball operations at Princeton University.  Her roles with the Bluejays include oversight of academics, compliance and newsletters, while she is also involved in recruiting and on-court work with the guards.
  
“Carrie made a super impact in her first year at Creighton,” said head coach Jim Flanery following Moore’s first season in 2010-11. “She connected easily with players and fit in well with our staff. She is going to really help us on the court because she doesn’t have to look too far back to recall many of the things it takes to be highly successful and competitive as a player. Carrie enjoys the recruiting side of things, and her personality and energy has already helped us in that area. She is terrific with the social media, and we’ll continue to utilize her talents there.”
  
In Moore’s first season on the bench, she helped the Bluejays to an 18-13 record and an appearance in the postseason WNIT.  Carli Tritz was named the MVC Freshman of the Year after the rookie guard led the team in steals and assists.  The Jays ranked in the top-40 in assist-turnover ratio and fewest turnovers per game in the NCAA in 2010-11.
  
At Princeton, Moore was part of the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009-10, as the Tigers went 26-3 on the season, including 14-0 in Ivy League play.  In her two seasons at Princeton, the Tigers posted a 40-17 record.
  
A native of Lathrup Village, Mich., she attended Western Michigan, where she enjoyed a record-setting career from 2003-07.  The 2007 Mid-American Conference Co-Player of the Year, she led the NCAA in scoring, averaging 25.4 points per game as a senior.  Her final campaign also saw her named CoSIDA Academic All-America Second-Team and earn Kodak Honorable Mention All-America honors.
  
The three-time first-team all-MAC performer finished her career at WMU as the school’s all-time leading scorer, pouring in 2,224 points in her 120 career games – all starts.  She set nine school records and four MAC records during her outstanding 2006-07 senior season, becoming the only MAC player to ever lead the NCAA in scoring.  Her 813 points, 272 field goals and 217 free throws as a senior are among the records she owns, while her 41-point performance against Detroit during her senior season also established a school mark.
  
In addition to her academic All-America nod, she was a two-time academic all-district first-teamer and three-time first-team academic all-conference honoree.  Her career averages were 18.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
  
Moore was hired at Princeton after playing one year of professional basketball in Poland.   Following graduation and before her stint in Poland, she signed a free agent contract with the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA.
  
Moore graduated magna cum laude with a journalism degree from Western Michigan in 2007.
