MADISON, Wis. — Former Wisconsin player and assistant coach Howard Moore received a standing ovation in his first public appearance at the Kohl Center since a 2019 car wreck killed his wife and daughter and left him with serious injuries. “You can see that he’s a fighter,” said Tracy Webster, Moore’s former Wisconsin teammate. During a halftime ceremony, Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh said the newly constructed men’s basketball offices at the school will be named the Howard Moore Family Men’s Basketball Offices. Moore was working as an assistant on Wisconsin coach Greg Gard’s staff when his family was involved in a May 2019 car wreck in Washtenaw County, Michigan, that killed his wife, Jennifer, and 9-year-old daughter, Jaidyn.
