Duh.  That should have been one year coach at Colgate.  Don Vaughn  
went upstairs to the AD job at Colgate, with Moore assuming the head  
coaching duties.  Vaughn however returned the following year.   
Understandable that Moore went to Providence.  I get the feeling  
Moore feels like an ECAC coach, so I don't think it is necessarily  
surprising he would leave HE.  I thought Morris was scouting for some  
team in the NHL.
