On Monday, newly hired University of Wisconsin Green Bay Athletic Director Josh Moon took the podium in front of family, faculty, student-athletes, and local media for his introductory press conference. Moon started off the presser celebrating his family who was in attendance, highlighting his 94-year-old grandmother who made the trip. Moon also made it known how special it was for him to be back in his home state. 

 

 

Moon has experience in multiple capacities in NCAA Division I & II athletics including his most recent nine-year run as the athletic director at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD. Moon was an assistant coach at North Dakota State University and Ohio University. In that time, Moon built his connection to current UWGB Men’s Basketball head coach, Will Ryan. Moon complimented athletics in the Dakotas and spoke about trying to emulate parts of what both NDSU and South Dakota State University have done. He said he wants to transfer some of that to UWGB. 

 

Moon’s time as UWGB AD will officially start on August 1st, and until then he’ll try to make his last couple of weeks at NSU count. 

 

 

Moon ended his press conference saying, “go Phoenix,” and wishing the Milwaukee Bucks luck in the NBA finals.
