Former UTC Coach Wes Moore Returns to McKenzie Arena Friday to Face Old Team and Good Friend

Chattanooga-(WDEF-TV) Friends face off Friday night at McKenzie Arena.
It’s Mocs coach Katie Burrows against N-C State coach Wes Moore.
Moore used to coach U-T-C before going to the Wolfpack in 2013. He recruited Burrows to the Mocs as a player and later as an assistant coach. Moore took UTC to the NCAA Tournament nine times during his tenure. This will mark his first time back since leaving five years ago. So now Burrows will get to face her mentor, who has a team that’s undefeated and ranked 10th in the nation.

Said Burrows:”Will it be weird? Uh. It will be surreal. I knew this day would come. I’m looking forward to it just because he will challenge us. He has got his kids prepared. He’ll be prepared for us. He knows me. He knows me better than any other coach in the nation. So um, but guess what? I know him too. I’m going to hopefully be able to sneak up on him a little bit.”

Tipoff is at 7pm.
