"Claire adds a great deal to our program as a coach and as a person," said Head Coach Mike Morris. "She is one of the brightest and most detail-oriented coaches I know. These qualities, along with her knowledge of the game, are why she will be an outstanding teacher of our system. Claire also possesses a good eye for talent and will be a great asset in recruiting."

Moon graduated from Berry College in 1998, where she was an NAIA Third-Team All-American. She was the 1997 Northwest Georgia Player of the Year and garnered 1994 Georgia Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year honors.
