Porter Moser (born August 24, 1968) is an American college basketball coach and the current head men's basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago. Originally from Naperville, Illinois, Moser attended and played varsity basketball at Benet Academy. Moser previously held the head coaching position at Illinois State (2003–2007) and Arkansas-Little Rock (2000–2003). Prior to being hired at Loyola, Moser was an assistant coach at Saint Louis under Rick Majerus for the 2007-08 season, and the associate head coach from 2008-11.
Entering his fifth season at the helm, Porter Moser engineered one of the best single-season improvements of any Division I program last season and has the Loyola University Chicago men's basketball program firmly headed in the right direction. A native of Naperville, Ill., and a graduate of Benet Academy, Moser most recently served as the associate head coach at Saint Louis University under the late, great head coach Rick Majerus. Known as a tireless recruiter and a master game tactician, Moser has coached numerous all-conference players in his coaching career and Loyola's 24 wins last season were a culmination of his hard work recruiting and ability to put his players in a position to win games. Loyola's 2014-15 season was a magical one, as the Ramblers were the surprise package of the Missouri Valley, exceeding expectations every step of the way in posting their best season in 30 years. The Ramblers' 24 wins were their most since 1985 and their RPI improvement of over 200 spots was third-best among Division I programs.
A well-balanced and talented roster jelled very early in the season and Loyola closed its non-conference season with wins over Texas Tech and Boise State -- a NCAA Tournament team -- to win the Continental Tires Las Vegas Classic. Tournament MVP Milton Doyle was sidelined for 12 conference games but the Ramblers banded together and were playing their best basketball of the season down the stretch.
A key, late-season road win at Drake thrust LU into Friday night's quarterfinals at Arch Madness and the Ramblers put together a dominant performance, leading by as many as 39 points before settling for an Arch Madness-record 28-point victory before getting tripped up the next night in the semifinals by No. 11 UNI.
