Andrew Moore Resigns as Reynoldsburg Boys Basketball Coach
Andrew Moore, who guided the Reynoldsburg Raiders for six seasons, announced his resignation in February, citing health concerns that have left him without the energy required to continue coaching. The decision ends a tenure that produced a 104‑46 record and placed the program among the most successful in recent memory.
Under Moore’s leadership the team posted a program‑best 26‑2 record in the 2024‑25 season, captured back‑to‑back Division I district championships and secured a spot in the state final, finishing second overall. The run included the Raiders’ first appearance at the state tournament and a share of the OCC‑Buckeye championship with Newark in both 2023‑24 and 2025‑26.
A Legacy of Success on the Court
Moore’s coaching résumé also includes a stint as an assistant athletic director for four years and a two‑year term as athletic director, during which he helped modernize the school’s sports programs. He was later succeeded by Nicole Gardner, who now oversees the athletic department.
Community Reaction
Former players and coaches have voiced their disappointment, with Pickerington Central coach Eric Krueger among those who praised Moore’s impact and expressed hope for his swift recovery. Their messages reflect a deep appreciation for the mentor’s role in shaping both athletes and the broader school culture.
Although stepping away from the sidelines, Moore plans to stay connected by teaching an online credit recovery course at Reynoldsburg’s Summit campus, ensuring that his influence continues in a different capacity.
