University of Richmond Head Basketball Coach Chris Mooney talks about his love for Hoops, Family, and Richmond

The Cheats Movement Podcast

University of Richmond Head Basketball Coach Chris Mooney has recently started his 18th season. He already has more wins than any coach in UofR history (315). He has the school's only two A10 conference titles. He's collected three NCAA tournament appearances: including a trip to the sweet sixteen (2010-2011). He has graduated countless players, led several to careers in professional basketball, and even coached one of hip-hop's biggest stars right now (more on that in the interview). No matter how you look at it, Coach Mooney is swiftly approaching legendary status on Westhampton Way.

But those are some of the things you may already know about Coach Mooney. What you may not know is that for 18 seasons, Mooney has had at least one player from the Richmond-Metro area on the team. When Coach Mooney and his wife moved to Richmond they didn't know what the future held, but they truly fell in love with the university and the greater Richmond community. Now, they have two boys (10 and 13) they are raising in Richmond. Mooney and his players emphasize giving back and being role models on and off the court.

During our conversation, you will get a chance to learn more about Chris Mooney - the basketball coach - and also Chris Mooney: the man. It was an honor to have him on the Cheats Movement Podcast.
