Taj79 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah, I know it's in the current SPUMAC thread but I don't think everyone would know to look for it there. Going from Mizzou to Tulsa is certainly going up the food chain,eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 There's got to be more than meets the eye here. Am sure his team's recent run ins with the law had something to do with it. They should bring back Quinn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL Hoops Insider Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Tulsa is coming off an NCAA bid and moving to the the AAC Conference which was composed of 3 of the last 4 NCAA Champions last yr plus Memphis and SMU. And he might actually be welcome there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think this is a bad move for Tulsa. Why would you hire this guy that's clearly underperforming, only recruiting transfers and has so many discipline problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Anyone think Greg Marshall could be enticed with big $'s to take the Paper Tiger job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Not a chance. Marshall will be at Wichita until he is offered a really great opportunity. There is nothing great about that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I suspect Mizzou will approach Marshall of Wichita State. This could spawn a Wal-Mart heir spouses vs. Koch Brothers bidding contest. The "news" of the apparent rift betwen Alden and Sundvold does explain some of the past history. Alden is on the clock. The media are watching. This could go either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For-DaLove Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 sorry. sanctions for what? We shall soon find out. The more I think about it, and the more people I talk to about it, upcoming sanctions are the only thing that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doowop Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I bet Biedscheid is regretting his decision about a school for a second time. Can he transfer again?The rumor was his mother wanted him to come to SLU, but his father wanted him to go to Missouri. If that is true, I wonder what his father is thinking.

STLfan Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The guy is running while he can. Similar to McDermott leaving Iowa St. a few years ago to go back to the MVC. Take a new job or wait a year, under preform again, and get fired. Looks like Tulsa is the real loser in this. They for some reason are paying Haith 1.85 a year for 7 years. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10797288/frank-haith-missouri-tigers-deal-coach-tulsa-golden-hurricane-per-sources That's basically 13 million dollars. I doubt Mizzou even tried to match it. They were probably just glad to see him go. The real question though is what is the Tulsa AD thinking? For that kind of money they had to know they could do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock_Tower Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The rumor was his mother wanted him to come to SLU, but his father wanted him to go to Missouri. If that is true, I wonder what his father is thinking. So what if we missed out on Cam. Same with Nolan Berry. Hopefully, the rise of the Billikens continues. In the past, kids like them laughed at the Bills. Now, they are not laughing but both did choose other schools over SLU. And like so many locals following the bright lights, these two did not find what they were looking for and transferred. I don't wish ill-will upon these or other youngsters, but I want the local basketball community, both the players and the coaches, to show more respect to SLU. When an offer or opening arises at SLU, I want them to realize that they either need to accept the scholarship offer or realize that a second one likely will not be coming. Hopefully, the days of 3 to 5 good players, 4 to 5 role players/bench warmers and open spots for the remaining scholarships to be "saved" - for these very transfers - are over. Personally, I believe that kids, for years, have decided to try to their "dream" school, and if it works out, then great, but if it doesn't, then there will always be room at SLU - their local "safe" choice. IMO, it all comes down to the simple laws of supply and demand. If openings are no longer certain, guaranteed or in supply at SLU, then demand for scholarships increase., and with increased demand, quality also increases. Maybe next time when Jim Crews offers a scholarship to the next Cam or the next Nolan Berry, those kids will jump at the offer and accept it.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 What's not to like about Haith? He and Floyd Irons are two peas in a pod. Except that Floyd Irons actually won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB73 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Except that Floyd Irons actually won. What, up 82-26 or something like that in the MO State Final, a minute to go, Irons keeps his full court press going. What sportsmanship. Over / under Haith at Tulsa, 2.5 years.

Clock_Tower Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just watched local newsclip of Alden who wished Haith well (expected), who said he was a good coach (expected) but who also said he expected him to be coaching at Mizzou for years to come (not expected). Guess Alden wants everyone to know this was all Haith and not Alden pushing Haith out. Again, the timing is what is equally as bad for MIzzou -- not much time for the new coach to contact/recruit the new commitments/verbal commitments. I doubt Haith will take kids like Cam to Tulsa like Cuonzo Martin may be taking kid(s) from Tennessee to Cal, but will the Mizzou guys stay or go elsewhere.

Am sure they'll wait for the new coach then decide. Here's an interesting thought what if Cam said no to the new guy and contacts SLU? By my count we're full up, right? Would JC pull a Calipari and let someone go? I don't see him being that cold blooded, but it is a cold blooded business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
