Michigan Fires Sherrone Moore for Cause, Ex-Coach Charged After Alleged Home Invasion

Prosecutors say the case centers on a years-long relationship with a staff member that allegedly ended days before his arrest.

Overview

  • University officials said an internal review found credible evidence that Moore violated policy by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, leading to his termination for cause.
  • Hours after he was fired, Moore was arrested and later charged with third-degree home invasion plus misdemeanor counts of stalking and entering without permission, according to court filings.
  • At arraignment, prosecutors alleged he forced his way into the woman’s apartment, grabbed butter knives and scissors, and threatened to kill himself before fleeing and being taken into custody nearby.
  • A judge released Moore on a $25,000 cash surety bond with conditions that include no contact with the woman, GPS monitoring and a mental-health evaluation; a probable cause conference is set for January 22.
  • The university says the staff member remains employed, and multiple outlets report Michigan has engaged outside counsel, with Jenner & Block expected to conduct a broader review as reporting on prior complaints continues.
