Moser, 40, is about to begin his second season on the bench under head coach Rick Majerus, who guided the Billikens to a 16-15 record in his first campaign last year.

We have coached alongside each other, and his energy and enthusiasm brings a challenge to both myself and the team every day to try and match him."

Prior to joining the staff at Saint Louis, Moser served for four years as the head coach at Illinois State, inheriting a last-place team and guiding them to a 51-67 record during his tenure.
