COLUMBIA, MO. • Cancer struck the family of Mizzou assistant basketball coach Brad Loos last fall when his daughter Rhyan was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma. Now the disease has hit the family again.
Dave Loos, Brad’s father and the longtime head coach at Austin Peay State University, recently had a malignant tumor removed from his colon, the family announced Monday on a Facebook post. Austin Peay later announced the news on its team’s Twitter account.
Doctors removed the tumor a few weeks ago at St. Thomas Medical Center in Nashville.
