Former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore has avoided jail time for the incident at the apartment of a staffer with whom he had been romantically involved. Instead, Moore has been sentenced to 18 months of probation.
Moore’s sentencing follows last month’s no-contest pleas to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device, a charge that could have carried up to 6 months in jail, part of a deal with the prosecution.
“I don’t believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate,” District Court Judge Cedric Simpson said during Tuesday’s sentencing in Washtenaw County Court, per ESPN. “I warn you Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I don’t have a problem doing it.”
Judge Simpson agreed with the prosecution dropping the felony stalking charge against Moore.
“The people could have just decided to proceed with this case and let the chips fall where they may,” Simpson said, per ESPN. “… Instead, they did the right thing. … The criminal charges that Mr. Moore would have been guilty to, he pled to. No more, no less.”
The judge also said that his sentencing decisions were influenced by the support Moore received from his wife during the process.
“The person who is saving you from the full wrath of this court is the person who you betrayed,” Simpson said. “When all of the circumstances are happening to her, and she is absorbing them in real time, she not once loses her focus, not once bats an eye to doubt you, not once wants something terrible to happen to you. As I listened to the terror in her voice that day, I don’t think there would be anybody in the world who would have blamed her from saying, ‘I am done here.’
Moore was fired as Michigan head coach on Dec. 10 after a staffer informed Michigan administration of the inappropriate relationship, which she had recently broken off. Police reported that Moore drove to the woman’s apartment, confronting her and threatening self-harm.
Michigan hired former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham to lead the program for 2026 and beyond.
