Been Around the Block: Loyola's Porter Moser Returns to Missouri Valley

April 20th, 2013 - 20:04

Been there; done that! Amid the seemingly incessant affiliation realignment, former Illinois State coach Porter Moser returned to the Missouri Valley Conference when Loyola of Chicago switched leagues and joined the MVC. Last season, former Missouri State coach Barry Hinson returned to the Valley in a similar capacity at Southern Illinois. When Jimmy Patsos remained in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference by leaving Loyola (Md.) for Siena, Moser and Patsos joined the following alphabetical list of active coaches - four in the MEAC - who were bench bosses of two different schools in the same league:
