Kim Anderson Out at Missouri

By: MIKE McCURRY

Add Missouri to the list of programs that will be searching for a new head coach this offseason.

Kim Anderson was officially let go by the SEC institution on Sunday. Anderson was 26-67 in his three seasons at the helm, including a 7-23 record this year.

“This decision has been very difficult for me personally because of the tremendous respect I have for Kim,” Missouri Athletic Director Jim Sterk said in a statement. “I know how hard he and his staff have worked to turn the program around over the last three years, however, the lack of on-court success has resulted in a significant drop in interest surrounding our program, and we could not afford for that to continue another year.”

When Frank Haith left for Tulsa back in April 2014, Missouri went the unconventional route in hiring a successor in Anderson, who at the time was a Division 2 head coach at Central Missouri.
