Ricky Moore: 2x Division I Basketball National Champion at UConn
Show Notes

My guest today knows about busting NCAA basketball brackets and has taken a foray into medical sales!  Ricky Moore is a college basketball legend. Ricky Moore became the first NCAA Division I player in history to win a championship as a player and then as a coach! During his time at UConn as a player, Ricky was a three-time co-captain for the Huskies and led them to their first national championship against a very heavily favored Duke squad in 1999. His defense against two Duke players including in the final seconds is seen historically as the key to UConn beating Duke. Ricky played 11 seasons professionally, retired as a player, came back as a coach and played a huge role as an assistant in the UConn 2013-2014 championship run.
