UALR Coach dismisses Moore from UALR Basketball Team

Moore was suspended from the UALR Basketball Team Monday morning. Moore was the team's scoring leader this season. "I met with Steve this morning and have decided in the best interest of our basketball team to move forward without him. We appreciate Steve's contributions over the last three years and wish him the best going forward." says UALR Head Coach, Steve Shields, "With us being in a race for the overall conference championship, we have a big week ahead of us with games against New Orleans and Louisiana-Lafayette. I know how excited our guys are about the challenge in front of us." Shields also said he'd be leaning more on freshmen Curtis Jackson and Lionel Foster to fill in Moore's minutes. The two played more than usual in the West Division clincher in Denton, TX.
