Howard Moore honored in return to Kohl Center

Former assistant basketball coach Howard Moore was honored on court before Saturday’s game against Illinois in his first return to the Kohl Center since a May 2019 accident that killed his wife and daughter and seriously injured him. At halftime, UW Athletics announced that newly constructed men’s basketball offices in the Kohl Center will be named the “Howard Moore Family Men’s Basketball Offices.”
