Playing career

A native of Amherst, Massachusetts, Moss had a successful prep career first for Amherst Regional High School followed by one postgraduate prep year at Northfield Mount Hermon School.[1] [2] [3] He did not start playing basketball until his sophomore year of high school,[4] but was good enough to ultimately play NCAA Division I basketball for the Brown Bears. Moss played for the school's freshman team in 1976–77, then lettered for Brown's varsity squad during his final three years.[5] In that stretch, he was twice named to the All-Ivy League First Team and led the league in points per game as a senior (21.2), which helped him earn the conference's player of the year award.[6] For his career, Moss scored 1,241 points, which at the time of his graduation stood sixth in school history.[5] In 1986, Moss was inducted into Brown's athletics hall of fame.[5]

Personal

Later in his life, Moss became a marketing representative with IBM in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.[5] He is the brother of Perry Moss, a former NBA player who was the 1982 America East Conference Player of the Year.[7] They also have a sister, Paula Moss, who graduated in 1982 as Tufts University's all-time leading scorer with 1,018 points (since surpassed).[7] [8]
