Moser’s affiliation with the Lakers began as associate head coach under Musselman with the D-Fenders, the NBA Developmental League franchise in Los Angeles. While there, his last position was created for him and worked directly with the coaching and analytics staffs to integrate ideas and information between the departments. First, he was hired as a head advance NBA scout and ended his tenure as assistant coach/director of basketball strategy. Moser came to Arkansas after spending seven-and-a-half years with the Los Angeles Lakers. Moser also proved his worth on the recruiting trail too as the Razorbacks landed the #5 recruiting class in the nation for 2020. Isaiah Joe ranked fourth in the NCAA in 3-pointers made per game. Also, Mason Jones was named AP SEC Player of the Year and AP honorable mention while leading the SEC in scoring (8th in the NCAA). In his first season with the Razorbacks, Moser’s experience and analytical expertise helped Arkansas lead the NCAA in 3-point field goal percentage defense in year one while the Razorbacks led the SEC in turnover margin, steals, turnovers forced and fewest turnovers committed. Also, the Hogs showed perhaps the nation’s best improvement in rebounding, going from 342nd (of 350 teams) to 57th in rebound margin, from 332nd to 18th in rebounds per game, 325th to 44th in offensive rebounds and 288th to 33rd in defensive rebounds. The Razorbacks ranked third in the NCAA in free throws made and 11th in scoring offense while leading the SEC in scoring margin. Overall, Arkansas went 25-7 – marking the 13th time in 98 years of basketball the program won at least 25 games – and was 13-4 in the SEC to finish second. Arkansas earned a #3 seed to the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the Elite 8 and finished ranked among the top 10 in the final polls marking the first to attain any of the three milestones since 1995. Moser’s second year at Arkansas saw the Razorbacks reach a national level of success the program had not experienced since the mid-1990’s. Clay Moser, who has three decades of experience in professional basketball, is in his third year as an assistant coach with the Razorbacks for the 2021-22 season.ĭuring several of his stops in the NBA and D-League, Moser and Musselman have been on the same staffs.
