It is now being reported that Missouri and Kim Anderson are parting ways at the end of the season. While the official word is that Anderson is “stepping down”, it isn’t hard to put two and two together to realize that he was probably asked to step down or he would be fired. This is a classic move used by athletic directors to not have to outright fire someone that means something to the program and university as a whole.
While just about everyone knows just how bad the Missouri Tigers have been in basketball the past few seasons, it was important to remember what head coach Kim Anderson inherited when he started there.
