Ken Moses joined the Salukis on April 17, 2019 after working two years at NJCAA Division I Missouri State University West Plains (2017-19). The Grizzlies were 45-21 during his two seasons and won the 2018 Region XVI Championship.
In his first season on staff at SIU, Moses helped the Salukis turn into one of the nation's best underdog stories. SIU, which was picked last in the MVC preseason poll, won 16 games and 10 conference games -- the best-ever for a team picked last in its preseason poll. The Salukis rattled off 10-straight home wins and seven-straight conference wins, both of which were the best for the program since 2007. Freshman Marcus Domask was named the league's Freshman and Newcomer of the Year, and the staff was recognized with head coach Bryan Mullins finishing as runner-up in the MVC Coach of the Year and the Joe B. Hall Award, which is given to the nation's best first-year head coach.
The Salukis found success with elite defense, leading the MVC and ranking in the top-15 nationally in scoring defense. The Salukis allowed just 62.2 points per game, and the Salukis led the MVC in scoring defense for the first time since 2006-07.
Prior to SIU, Moses coached two All-Americans at West Plains. Six players earned All-Region recognition, including one Region Player of the Year; and the Grizzlies won 68 percent of their games. At Nebraska Kearney, Moses coached one All-American, six All-Conference players and one player of the year; and the program went 74-44 in his tenure.
A native of Honolulu, Moses previously served four years as a graduate assistant and assistant coach at NCAA Division II Nebraska-Kearney (2013-17) and three years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Colorado State University in Pueblo (2010-13). He was a four-year letter winner at CSU-Pueblo and a team captain during the 2009-10 season.

Mullins on Moses
"We could not be more excited to have Ken join our program. He is someone who, over the years, I have grown to completely trust and value in this profession. He understands why programs are successful and how to help build a culture. Ken's strong work ethic and ability to connect with young men from all different backgrounds makes him a great asset to me, our staff and our student-athletes."11.2.25 | Saluki Radio Basketball Podcast - Game 1 (McKendree)
