Steve Moore, a member of the 2019 Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame induction class, will be honored by the organization prior to this Saturday's 2 p.m. men's basketball game between the 18th-ranked College of Wooster and 11th-ranked Wabash College.

Quite simply one of the most successful collegiate basketball coaches, Moore's compiled an 837-242 overall record, including a remarkable 750-177 ledger at Wooster, where he's served as head coach since the start of the 1987-88 season. He's No. 2 all-time in wins among NCAA Div. III head coaches, has directed the Fighting Scots to 26 NCAA Tournament berths, and a league-high 17 North Coast Athletic Conference championships.

Noteworthy, of the 11 NCAA men's basketball coaches with more wins than Moore, only six – Mike Krzyzewski, Herb Magee, Glenn Robinson, Jim Boeheim, Dean Smith, and Adolph Rupp – have won at least 750 games with a single program.

Wooster's pre-game ceremony will take place with approximately 10:30 left on the warm-up clock. Additionally, fans are encouraged to wear sneakers to Saturday's game in support of the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Week.

The 2019 Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame induction is set for May 18 at Hyatt Regency Columbus' third-floor Regency Ballroom. A reception for ticket holders starts at 5:30 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:15 p.m. The ceremony is set to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $80 for adults and $30 for children (ages 4-12) and can be purchased at www.ohiobasketballhalloffame.com.
