Before Virginia Tech
Moir was a basketball and baseball athlete at Appalachian State University. Following his college career, Moir played Minor League Baseball with the Cincinnati Reds organization.
After three years in baseball, Moir moved on to coach high school basketball, coaching for eleven years at Stuart, Virginia, Jefferson, North Carolina, and Mount Airy, North Carolina and finishing with a career record of 224-43.
In 1963, Moir joined the Virginia Tech basketball coaching staff as an assistant. After coaching under Bill Matthews and Howard Shannon for four seasons, Moir moved on to Roanoke College where he compiled a 133-44 record in his six years, winning the NCAA College Division (now called Division II) national championship in 1972.
Moir's first recruit at Roanoke was Frankie Allen, the first African American basketball player in school history, who would eventually follow Moir as the head coach of Virginia Tech and become Virginia Tech's first African American head coach.
Moir left Roanoke for Tulane University in 1973, where he earned a 46-33 record. After three years in New Orleans, he returned to the Hokies and Virginia Tech.
