For the record, I have a little part of me that emphatizes with Arkansas on this. They desperately wanted the Son of Nolan to come home and for it to be 1994 all over again.

Its not gonna happen. Anderson is not the guy to bring you all back to the glory days.

We've lived it with him already. 40 minutes of WTF. The full court pressure means defensive lapses turn to back court cuts and layup drills. Offensive sets and fundamentals are non existent. Run, Jump, Shoot is written on every page of the playbook. Blue chips will not come to play such a chaotic unorthodox system. Like the football Run and Gun, its a gimmick that has outlived its time.

We've seen before our eyes this year what an off the shelf person who is an actual basketball coach can do, given shelves stocked with basically all guards. Improvise, adapt, overcome and motivate. The result is obviously greater than the sum of what he was left with. This is not magic guys, its coaching 101. Fundamentals, discipline, cohesiveness, these things matter. Anderson was not able to sustain a system like that here.

Early returns are not good. I don't wish bad for you, but based on empirical experience here, I sure as shite would be selling ARK basketball futures, not buying.

Someday if you're right we'll admit it.

Mike took UAB to a Sweet 16 in his second year and ya'll to an Elite 8 and you have never been to a Final Four....EVER.

I'm not sure how much weight a Mizzou fan's basketball opinion goes and clearly y'alls football opinions have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Like it or not, we have more experience with Mike than y'all. We hired him away from you and he was ready to leave.

Suck on Haith.
