I know everyone wanted to bash me for my the comments I made about the video of him taking the team off the court in Europe, but it was extremely telling if you take off the golden glasses. He's not a composed leader. And I think that is a huge huge thing for a coach, especially in basketball.
And once again, you are completely wrong. His guys were getting elbowed, punched and kicked. He just got ejected. The game was meaningless and safety was a factor. The media folks in attendance even said the environment was on the verge of turning into a brawl. There was absolutely no reason to keep his players in that situation.

Haith was COY last year. This year, he's the dog. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
I believe Haith is a good coach, but having Ernie Nestor on the staff last year was huge. I think it was Nestor that helped them keep focused in tight games, and late in games. Nestor is a great Xs and Os guy - not a recruiter as much; when they tried to force him into more of a recruiting role, he left.
I believe what we've seen this year i directly tied to his loss. No one else on staff has his strengths. Haith is a good coach, but I would say his strength isn't tough game coaching.
Some of you know I have a good family friend who has coached basketball for years. He isn't Haith's biggest fan, to put it mildly. He's critical of his in-game coaching, and to an extent of his recruiting too. He believes we've recruited some kids that may be good ball players, but not necessarily have good basketball intelligence. That's his concern for Mizzou going forward - inexperience and low basketball IQ. I guess time will tell.

Nah, that stuff didn't really happen. He flipped over something little. The people watching the game had no idea why he even got mad. And kicked, really?? Haha, you certainly are speaking out of your arse.

Really? Because I watched the action leading up to it and it just seemed like gym class. It was as low key as can be, and when he walked off the court both teams were like 'what?!?'

Well that's great but I didn't argue for or against him removing his team, that isn't what this is about, so that's an irrelevant comment. It is about the way he did it. Have you even watched the clip? It was pretty embarrassing, even his players were embarrassed, shaking their heads.
