Ricky S. Moore (born April 10, 1976) is an American former basketball player and current coach. He previously served as an assistant at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He played professionally for eleven years.

Moore came to UConn after an All-American high school career at

1999 National Championship game, Moore's defense on Duke's William Avery, and his ability to guard Trajan Langdon in the final seconds, was seen as one of the keys to the Huskies defeat of the heavily favored Blue Devils and Moore was named to the All-Final Four team.[2][3]

After graduation, Moore played professionally in the United States, Austria, Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey, and Germany over eleven seasons.[4]

In 2010, Moore retired as a player and joined the coaching staff at

2013–14 National Championship.[6] Moore stayed at UConn until 2018, when head coach Ollie was dismissed because of an NCAA investigation.[7]

He then coached in AAU. In June 2021, Moore was named head boys' basketball coach at Northwest_Cabarrus_High_School in Kannapolis, North Carolina.[8]
