The Missouri basketball program has been in a constant state of flux the last several years, with multiple athletic director changes exacerbating the impact. With Kim Anderson getting fired, the Tigers are entering their third basketball search since 2011, when Frank Haith took over for Mike Anderson. Haith left abruptly for Tulsa after the 2013-14 season, and then-AD Mike Alden hired former Missouri assistant coach Kim Anderson -- a local favorite.
Things never really got going for Anderson, who was hired on the heels of a Division-II title with Central Missouri. The Tigers went just 9-23 in his first season, and followed that up with a 10-21 campaign last year.
