Former Indiana guard A.J. Moye named athletic director at Jeffersonville High School

Former Indiana University basketball standout A.J. Moye is the new athletic director at Jeffersonville High School. Moye, a player at IU from 2000 to '04, will team up with another former IU star, Sherron Wilkerson, who led Jeffersonville to its first boys' basketball state championship in March since he was a player at Jeff in 1993. 'We are absolutely thrilled to welcome A.J. Moye back to Southern Indiana and to the Red Devil family,' Jeffersonville principal Pam Hall said in a statement released by the school. 'His experience as a high-level player and his passion for developing young athletes, combined with is understanding of the high level of athletics in Indiana, make him an exceptional leader for our athletic department. We are confident that his vision and enthusiasm will inspire our student athletes, support our dedicated coaches, and further strengthen our entire school community.' For the past two seasons, Moye was an assistant coach on Roger Powell Jr.'s staff at Valparaiso, leading recruiting and player development. Prior to coaching at Valpo, Moye trained professional and collegiate players within the late Kobe Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy. He also coached at the high school level in California at Oak Park. Moye is better known here for his role as a player on IU's 2001-02 team that reached the national championship game, providing a memorable blocked shot of Duke's Carlos Boozer in the Sweet 16 win over No. 1 Duke and 14 points. The former Georgia Mr. Basketball and Parade All-American averaged 5.9 points as a sophomore that season. As a senior, Moye averaged 10.0 points and 6.4 rebounds before going on to play professionally in Iceland, Germany and Finland. Moye will oversee all aspects of Jeffersonville's athletic programs, including coaching staff development, management of athletic facilities, budget administration, ensuring adherence to IHSAA regulations and maintaining relationships with Jeffersonville athletes and families.
