Ohio RTC Adds Scott and Moore as Coaches

Last week, Ohio RTC stalwart Kollin Moore announced his retirement from competition at the Senior level. We didn’t have to wait long until we found out his next step. Today, the Ohio RTC announced that Moore would remain with the clubs as a coach. Not only does the Ohio RTC retain Moore, but they have also added Coleman Scott as an RTC coach. 

On the Senior level, Moore made it to Final X in 2022 and the finals of the Olympic Team Trials in 2021. In both instances, he fell to former Ohio State teammate Kyle Snyder. 

At Ohio State, Moore captured three Big Ten titles and earned NCAA All-American honors each time he competed at the national tournament - topping out at 2nd in 2019. Moore was the favorite to capture an elusive national title in 2020 before the tournament was canceled at the outset of the COVID pandemic. 

Scott comes to the Ohio RTC after spending a year at his alma mater, Oklahoma State. He was assumed to be the head coach-in-waiting for when John Smith decided to step down. That day came this spring and Oklahoma State ended up hiring David Taylor. 

Before coming back to Stillwater, Scott spent eight years as the head coach at North Carolina. While at UNC, Scott led the Tar Heels to top-20 finishes at every NCAA Tournament between 2017 and 2023 - with each year building upon the previous finish. Additionally, Scott guided Austin O’Connor to a pair of undefeated NCAA title-winning seasons. 

As an athlete, Scott earned NCAA All-American honors four times culminating in a first-period fall in the 2008 national finals for a championship in his senior season. Scott continued on the freestyle circuit and claimed a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Games. 

The Ohio State collegiate program is coming off an eighth-place finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships in a year where they had six freshman national qualifiers. In addition to four returning All-Americans, the Buckeyes also have an incoming freshman class that was ranked fifth in the nation by InterMat. But wait, there’s more. The Buckeyes also have verbal commitments from two of the top-15 prospects from the Class of 2025.
