The 1999-2000 Missouri basketball team featured 2 future NBA head coaches

The 1999-2000 Mizzou basketball team was a rather unassuming bunch. Quin Snyder’s first Tiger squad went 18-13, reaching the NCAA Tournament but bowing out in the first round against North Carolina.

They got solid, young guard play from Keyon Dooling, Clarence Gilbert, Brian Grawer, and blue-chip freshman Kareem Rush, but they just didn’t have much size. Six-foot-9 JUCO transfer T.J. Soyoye played center by default, and 6’5 Jeff Hafer and 6’6 Johnnie Parker ended up playing quite a bit of PF by necessity.

If you remember anything about that team, it’s probably the backcourt.
