On the morning of Saturday, May 25, 2019, two members of his family: his wife, who died at a hospital, and his daughter, who died at the scene, were killed as the result of a collision with a vehicle that was being driven the wrong way. Assistant Coach Moore received serious injuries and was hospitalized, and his son received minor injuries. The driver of the vehicle going the wrong way was pronounced dead at the scene.[2] Due to serious health concerns in the aftermath of the accident, Moore will not coach the 2019-2020 season.[3]
