CHICAGO (April 16, 2019) - Statements from Loyola University Chicago men's basketball coach Porter Moser and Director of Athletics Steve Watson follow. 

Statement from Loyola Head Coach Porter Moser 
Dear Rambler Nation,

I know there have been a lot of things swirling out there the past few days. Because I have coached and coached with some amazing young men, and because I have had the support of the University, friends, family, and the loyal Loyola fans; opportunities have arisen. I know that is part of the business, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm humbled, grateful, and grounded with what comes my way.

People in business say I'm crazy for passing up opportunities and the money. But what they don't know is the amazing young men I coach and the culture we have built. What they don't know are the amazing young men who are committed to come to Loyola and wear the Maroon and Gold. What they don't know are the people and friends that make up the Loyola community. And what they don't know is what makes me tick. 

So what I do say to Rambler nation is … let's keep building this culture and making a difference. Let's keep chasing championships. Let's do things better than we have ever done before. 
With that said … I'M ALL IN!


Statement from Loyola Director of Athletics Steve Watson
"We couldn't be more excited to continue to have Porter Moser lead our men's basketball program and have said all along that he is a perfect fit at Loyola. Porter's accomplishments here, especially over the last five years, speak for themselves, and most importantly, he has achieved success by doing things the right way with high-character student-athletes."
