The 2010-11 season will be Ryan Moody’s fifth as an assistant coach with the Fighting Sioux men’s basketball team. He also serves as the program's recruiting and scheduling coordinator.

Moody arrived at UND after having served as head coach at Raymore-Peculiar High School in Peculiar, Missouri since 2001. Moody inherited a program that had gone 44-81 the previous five seasons, and led Peculiar to a 72-55 record over the next five years, including a 53-24 mark over the last three years and the first Suburban Conference title in school history.

Prior to that, Moody spent four seasons (1997 to 2001) as an assistant coach at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where Jones was also on the staff for two of those seasons. While at UNO, Moody recruited three recruiting classes that led the Mavericks to back-to-back NCC championships.

Moody received his bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in secondary education from Benedictine (Kan.) College in 1997 and graduated as the eighth-leading scorer in school history. He also graduated second on the school’s all-time three-pointers made list and was a three-time all-conference selection, including  a pair of first team honors. Moody went on to serve one year as a student assistant coach at Benedictine.

Moody earned a master’s degree in recreation administration from UNO in 2000 and a master’s degree in administration from William Woods (Mo.) University in 2005.
