B for staff/personnel hiring.
F for keeping the staff happy.
F for team performance/development.

Yes the team is young, and at this point not very skilled and inconsistent.
However, whose idea is it to try and make J3 your lead scorer. Give him the ball at the top of the key and tell him go get it. Did he not see him shoot or try to take a guy off the dribble. He should never have the ball in his hands that far from the basket and KA was using him to break the press in the Arky game (where he had like 27 turnovers)

We are currently ranked 322nd in Scoring (per ESPN). I didn't even know there were 322 teams in Division 1 basketball. That is truly awful.
Kim Anderson earns a big fat "F for Furk".

Then he should get an F because he is the worst coach in school history.

If he had GPA of 0.00 his first year he would not see a second year.

Fair enough, but I wasn't grading the players. I'd be more than happy to start a thread grading the players. I also don't see it as unfair to grade this year. Think of it like high school. After KA's freshman year, he has a 0.00 GPA. He still has 3 years to bring that GPA up where his cumulative GPA is a 2.5 or whatever, but he can still get a GPA for that freshman year.

Unfortunately I am beginning to think the problem is with KA and not the players.

I don't believe that. Despite all the loosing his players continued to support him publicly and by playing hard.
If the young guys stay and work hard this offseason then .500 should be attainable next year. Maybe better with a couple key additions.

The team obviously lost some momentum emotionally after the LSU game. And that was destroyed, whatever was left, after the Arkansas game. So I'm not sure I would say they played hard despite the losing.
Additionally I heard that Fuller was held out of recruiting, but that that was not done by the NCAA but rather by our infamous compliance department. That could explain why the rumors exist about Fuller leaving. And the change in the athletic director position may give us some hope in retaining Fuller.

So KA suspended Fuller too. Hmmmmm
Posted on 3/13/15 at 8:24 am to reedus23
That may be spinning it a little too negatively. I think that directive came from the compliance department and not from KA necessarily.
Posted on 3/13/15 at 8:30 am to the808bass
I like my spin more. 
Actually, it's sad. I've reached a point where I just don't care if Fuller leaves.

Yeah. Especially if they aren't letting him recruit.
Plus, let Ka get all his guys in here and fail on his own terms.

Our team looked undisciplined and outmatched in every game. Yes, we were young and yes, this is the first year in a new system. But there are plenty of young teams with much greater success than this and a new coach does not excuse winning only nine games.
I also reject the notion that there is no talent on this team and the players are all terrible. They certainly aren't the best bunch of guys to put on a jersey at Mizzou, but there are plenty of formerly highly-touted recruits and some of the guys have shown plenty of potential.

I agree Breakaway. They are not 8 wins bad. They might be .500 bad or just under that, but not 8 wins bad.

I would say there were way too many games that they just came out and walked through the motions. If anything, I thought that that is what KA teams do NOT do. I thought we were told the one thing we can count on is the team playing hard each and every game. That is why I'm concerned that there is a disconnect between coach and players.

Losing can be contagious....look at the early "tough" losses we had...Ill & OK St to name just 2. After awhile you (as a player) expect the bad thing to happen or the good thing not to happen.

And that's still the coach's responsibility. To set the tone and attitude of the team.

Tone yes but I'm not sure someone has control over another person's attitude.

He is not the worst coach in school history-yet.
This was the worst season for Missouri basketball since 1966-1967 under Bob Vanatta, who may have been Missouri's worst basketball coach.
This year Anderson gets an F.
