Missouri has offered University of California-Berkeley coach Cuonzo Martin its vacant men’s basketball job, a source with knowledge of the offer told The Star.
Martin, 45, is an East St. Louis native who previously coached at Missouri State and Tennessee.
ESPN’s Jeff Goodman was first to report the Tigers offered Martin the position, which came open March 5 when first-year athletic director Jim Sterk announced Kim Anderson would not return.
Multiple sources told The Star that Martin, whose Golden Bears finished 21-13 this season after a first-round upset Tuesday night in the NIT, has been atop Mizzou’s list of candidates.
