After two disastrous seasons in Columbia, the temperature of the seat underneath Kim Anderson has gotten quite warm. The whirlwind of the last few years for Missouri athletics has almost overshadowed the seeming cratering of the Missouri basketball program. There are different perspectives on how it happened as many hearken to the state of the program when Anderson took over as well as the sanctions the Tigers are finally clear of as of this year which were largely out of Anderson’s control. Anderson has a lot of what you want in a head coach, an extreme affinity for the University he once played for, a stoicism in the face of adversity, and a guy who’s won a National Championship.
