After longtime assistant Gary Close left for personal reasons, Gard solidified his staff by retaining Close and Howard Moore, while hiring former UW standout Joe Krabbenhoft.

University of Wisconsin men’s basketball assistant coach Howard Moore will be moved to a long-term care facility and will sit out of the 2019-2020 season following a car accident in May that took the lives of his daughter and wife.

According to a statement from UW, Moore experienced a medical-related issue in his Madison home. As a result, he was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

During the transport to the hospital, Moore underwent cardiac arrest.
