Moran was born in Syosset, New York and attended St. Dominic High School in Oyster Bay from 1993 to 1997.[1] He played on a state championship team during his prep years.[2] After graduating, Moran played four years of college basketball at William & Mary (1997–2001) where he scored 1,324 points and was a two-time All-Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Team member in his junior and senior seasons.[2]
Moran played his entire professional career for CB Gran Canaria in Spain's Liga ACB (2001 to 2011).[2] On April 21, 2013, Moran became the only player in Gran Canaria history to have his jersey retired.[2] In 10 seasons with the team he recorded 2,060 points, 802 rebounds and 321 assists in 7,452 minutes.[2]
Moran has also competed for Ireland's national team.[2]
In November 2013, Moran began his coaching career as a player development coach for the NBA Development League's Maine Red Claws.[3] He then became the Portland Trail Blazers' associate video coordinator for the 2014–15 season.[4] The Trail Blazers finished that season with a 51–31 record, a Northwest Division championship, and a berth into the Western Conference playoffs as a fourth-seed.[4] Moran was promoted to be a full-time assistant coach upon the start of the 2015–16 season.[4] He then spent the next six years with Portland, but was fired as part of a wholesale coaching staff change at the conclusion of the 2020–21 season.[5] Moran was hired soon thereafter as a top assistant for the Detroit Pistons.[5]
