Shitty leadership of the athletic department and basketball program?
^^^^^THIS^^^^^
HIGHLY SHITTY LEADERSHIP above the head coaching level is Mizzou's real tradition for 50 years. Super few P5 level people.
The absolute worse was Barbara Uehling, Chancellor 1978-87. She disliked sports and cut athletic budgets. She wanted to make Mizzou the Harvard of the midwest. Another one of her big things was campus beautification. It's taken decades to recover from her crap. Most of you SEC folks don't know about this.
Just look at the records of our teams during the 60s and 70s. We were pretty good.
We had one AD that got lucky hiring Pinkel. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut. This same AD KILLED, KILLED our basketball program. (Alden)

I never had ties to Alden but he didn’t exactly have a bad record. I was at Mizzou during the first Pinkle and Quin Snyder years. The hoops hype was out of this world(don’t know who wasn’t at the games) and we were starting to actually win some football games too. I remember beating Nebraska for the first time in a decade or more. Not only that, but we got a great new arena and later got into the SEC. They weren’t bad times. Even bball rebounded after imploding for a bit.

Mack Rhoades saw the shitshow from the moment he set foot in CoMo and peace’d out.
