Since 2014, Moore has served as a member of the coaching staff for USA Baseball's U-18 National Team. He served as an assistant for the Tournament of the Stars and National Team Trials in 2014 before becoming the team's pitching coach in 2015.

Following the 2015 CSUN Baseball season, Moore served as pitching coach for Team USA's U-18 National Team over the summer. USA would go on to win a gold medal in Osaka, Japan, defeating host Japan in the championship game. Moore's pitching staff posted a 2.19 ERA in 115 innings of international competition.

Greg Moore, was previously named by Baseball America as one of the Top 10 Assistant Coaches in College Baseball, was hired as the head coach at CSUN on June 21, 2013.

Moore spent the previous three seasons as the associate head coach at the University of San Francisco, where he oversaw pitching, academics, community service and summer placement.

While at USF, Moore coached three first-round draft picks and eight players taken in the first 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Of the eight players, only one had been previously drafted out of high school and three were walk-ons. In addition, Moore helped USF achieve numerous accomplishments both on the field and off. Before his arrival, the Dons had never competed in an NCAA Regional. During his tenure, USF reached the NCAA Tournament three times, including twice in the past three seasons.

Moore began his collegiate coaching career at USF in 2002 as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Dons. In that role, Moore developed Diamond University, a life skills training program for student-athletes that is in progress today at CSUN. He served in that capacity until 2009, when he took a position as the pitching coach at the University of Washington for one season before heading back to his alma mater.

Three members of his pitching staff were drafted in 2012 and under his leadership the team achieved a program best 3.24 GPA last fall. In 2005, the USF pitching staff had a conference-best 2.86 ERA, ranking 6^th nationally. Opponents hit just .234.

Moore played collegiate baseball for the University of San Francisco and was named to the West Coast Conference All-Academic Team in 2001. As a player, he won the team's "Most Inspirational" award in back-to-back seasons and the award now bears his name.
