Doug Moe​

San Antonio resident Doug Moe served as head coach for the San Antonio Spurs from 1976-1980, leading the Spurs to the conference finals in 1979. Moe ranks third in the Spurs all-time record for number of wins. As head coach for the Denver Nuggets, Moe was named NBA Coach of the Year in 1987-88. ​

Moe was a two-time All American at the University of North Carolina and an ABA All-Star three times, with the Oakland Oaks, Carolina Cougars and Virginia Squires, in an injury-shortened five-year professional playing career. He then moved to coaching, starting his career with the Carolina Cougars in the ABA as an assistant coach to his former teammate, Larry Brown from 1972-74.  He then followed Brown to the Nuggets from 1974-76. During those two seasons, the Nuggets were 125-43 (.744). They advanced to the ABA Finals in 1976 but lost to the New York Nets in six games. After the ABA–NBA merger in 1976, he served as a head coach for the San Antonio Spurs for four seasons. While there, the Spurs were 144-102 (.585), making the playoffs all three years he coached. ​

After the 1979-80 season, Moe left San Antonio and returned to the Nuggets. As head coach for Denver from 1980-90, he compiled a 432-357 (.548) record, leading the team to the post season nine straight years (two Midwest division titles) and advancing to the Western Conference Finals in 1985. His overall NBA head coaching ledger stands at 628–529 (.543) and his wins are the 26th-most in NBA history.​
