Virginia Tech
Moir became the head coach in 1976, replacing Don DeVoe, who had moved on to Wyoming. In Moir's first season, the Hokies earned a bid to the NIT, but fell in the second round to #12 Alabama. In Moir's third season as coach, the Hokies, who had been independent since leaving the Southern Conference some 13 years earlier, joined the upstart Metro Conference. Tech stunned tournament favorite #13 Louisville in the conference semi-finals and went on to defeat Florida State for the conference championship.
Following Moir's lone losing season with the Hokies (1986–1987), a report presented by Mike Glazier and Mike Slive detailed 12 NCAA violations in Moir's program. The report found that, "in reviewing the academic records of basketball athletes, it is evident that most are not serious students" and that not a single player who entered Tech from 1981 until 1986 graduated. The most serious were that a player had falsely been given credit for a course he did not take and the wife of another player was given a personal car loan. Moir himself was cleared of any wrongdoing, but was forced to resign. Athletics director and football coach Bill Dooley had been dismissed earlier that year and the school was placed in the unenviable position of having both football and basketball on NCAA probation.
During his time at Tech, Moir led the Hokies to four NCAA tournament appearances and four NIT appearances. With a record of 213-119, Moir remains Tech's winningest basketball coach of all time and was inducted into the Virginia Tech Hall of Fame in 2006.
