Windsor basketball coach Jacqueline Moore dies suddenly
Jacqueline Moore of Windsor, Ont., an assistant basketball coach with Eastern Illinois, died late Wednesday. Coles County coroner Ed Schniers confirmed Thursday that Moore, who was entering her third season with the team, collapsed while working out and died.



Schniers could not give any additional information about her death, but said an autopsy would be performed Thursday in Springfield to determine the cause of death.



Along with assisting in recruiting, Moore worked primarily with the guards.



Moore came to EIU after a yearlong internship with the Detroit Shock and Detroit Pistons.



She was an All-Gulf South Conference honoree at Christian Brothers University, which is based in Memphis, and later played professionally for the Power Basket Tigers, a professional team in Austria.



As an intern for the two Detroit professional basketball franchises, she performed a long list of duties at games, special events, camps, clinics and other promotions.
