Ronald Moore (born July 14, 1988) is an American professional basketball player who plays for Giorgio Tesi Group Pistoia of the Italian Serie A. Whilst playing collegiately for Siena, he led the NCAA Division I in assists during his senior season (2009-10).
Moore attended Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. In his senior season, Moore averaged 17 points, 8 assists, and 2 steals, which earned him an All-Southern Pennsylvania Third Team selection from the The Philadelphia Inquirer.
His height, culminating at 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), and his weight, less than 160 lb (73 kg), reportedly detered major colleges from recruiting him, with offers solely from mid-majors. In December 2005, his Plymouth Whitemarsh coach contacted Siena - a NCAA Division I college in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) - head coach Fran McCaffery to talk up Moore. McCaffery, who thought the player was already recruited, came down to watch him play (with Moore collecting 15 assists in that game) and sent him a scholarship offer soon after.
Moore debuted against Stanford on 11 November 2006, posting 10 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals off the bench. He started 27 games over his freshman season, leading the Saints in minutes (31.2 minutes) and assists (4.9, third-best in the MAAC), adding 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.
He posted a MAAC-third best 5.3 assists per game in his sophomore season, adding 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals in nearly 32 minutes per game. Moore contributed 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the NCAA Tournament upset of Vanderbilt.
