The elevation of Valentine comes as no real surprise, as he was named the favorite for the job almost immediately after Moser’s departure. He has been an assistant at Loyola for the last four seasons, having previously spent time as a graduate manager at Michigan State, where his brother Denzel starred.
Moser is on his way to a big job for the first time, showing how highly regarded Loyola’s accomplishments have become within college basketball.
