Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC) has named veteran coach Jeff Moore as its new head men’s basketball coach, marking his return to the Cavaliers program two decades after first serving on staff and bringing with him deep coaching ties across Louisiana.
Moore enters his 32nd year in college coaching and first as head coach of BPCC’s storied program. He joins the Cavaliers after three years at LSU, where he served as Director of Recruiting under Head Coach Matt McMahon. While in Baton Rouge, Moore helped the Tigers land multiple Top 20 high school and transfer portal classes, and LSU advanced to the 2024 NIT postseason tournament.
His coaching motto, “Success occurs when preparation comes face-to-face with opportunity,” reflects the energy and vision he brings to BPCC basketball as the Cavaliers prepare for the upcoming season.
“I could not be more excited to return to BPCC as the head coach,” Moore said. “This program has a proud history, and I look forward to building on that tradition with hard work, preparation and passion. Our student-athletes will be committed to excellence on the court, in the classroom and in the community. I’m grateful for the opportunity and eager to get started on what I know will be a great season.”
In his role at LSU, Moore’s responsibilities included identifying and evaluating recruits as early as their freshman year, managing opponent scouting, alumni relations, mentoring student-athletes, coordinating recruiting visits, and overseeing scheduling and summer camps.
Before LSU, Moore spent 16 seasons at Northwestern State University under longtime head coach Mike McConathy, serving as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. During his tenure, he signed standout players including Southland Conference Freshmen of the Year Jalan West of Bossier City (2013) and Zeek Woodley (2014), 2013 SLC Newcomer of the Year DeQuan Hicks, and Shamir Davis, the 2013 SLC Tournament MVP from Shreveport. Moore also recruited William Mosley of Shreveport, who led NCAA Division I in blocks per game in 2011 and ranks fifth all-time in NCAA history in career blocks before going on to a successful professional career in Europe.
Moore is no stranger to BPCC. He served as an assistant coach for the Cavaliers during the 2005-06 season, helping the team capture both the Miss-Lou Conference title and tournament championship, earning a berth in the Region 23 Tournament for the first time in five years.
“Coach Moore brings a wealth of experience, a proven record of success and a deep connection to our region,” said BPCC Athletic Director Amanda Nordberg. “We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Cavaliers family and know he will have an immediate impact on our program and our student-athletes. His passion for the game and his commitment to developing young men align perfectly with BPCC’s mission.”
A 1997 graduate of Northwestern State University with a master’s degree in education and emphasis in athletic administration, Moore and his wife, Amy, have two children: Gracie, a freshman volleyball player at Blinn College, and Caige, an eighth grader active in football and baseball.
