Tulsa on one hand I would like to thank you for making such an audacious hire, but I realized a need to extend my deepest sincere condolences for Tulsa Basketball. My best suggestion would be to find a compliance issue committed by Haith, and use it as probable cause to get him fired. You may in fact already have a legitimate cause for termination:



Haith on taking Tulsa job:



quote:

When I looked at the Tulsa job and looked at the past of this program, and you talk about guys like Nolan Richardson, you talk about guys like Tubby Smith, guys like Bill Self, and the success they've had at this program, that's why I'm interested in this program. That's why I'm here.



Haith said the same thing when announced as Mizzou head coach, blaming the Miami administration for not supporting their basketball program. Most if not all fans hated the hire, and Haith's response was "I like that passion, That's why I'm here"


Haith hires Tom Abatemarco



quote:

He has been a head coach three times -- at Lamar, Drake and Sacramento State.


Hmmm?


quote:

He infamously complained about the Italian food in town, comparing the quality to something out of can -- not knowing, remembering or caring one of the program's prominent boosters ran the best-known Italian restaurant in the area.


WTF

quote:



At Lamar, Abatemarco will always be known as the coach who snapped the school's streak of eight straight NCAA or NIT appearances with his 14-win season in 1986-87.


Haith snapped school record of 6 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances at Mizzou...




quote:

He won 20 games his second year (the last 20-win season at the school until 2011-12), but lacking support from the fan base, he bolted for Drake.


Ties to Haith possibly, maybe his teacher on how to get out before getting fired

quote:

Abatemarco lasted less than two seasons there, resigning amid a player revolt and a school investigation that uncovered NCAA violations (although Abatemarco was never directly implicated).




Everyone lets say a collective prayer for the University of Tulsa Athletic department in hope that Haith doesn't kill the Tulsa basketball program

Let it go, no need to be bitter, Mizzou made an upgrade in replacing him.

By we, Belle meant the most decorated and longest tenured coach in the SEC, BD.

I actually think it's interesting.

Ultimately it doesn't matter, but it's interesting so thanks Nick for sharing.

My inside sources tell me Marshall will not coach Mizzou.

My inside sources are telling me Anderson will hire former tiger Melvin Booker, and Devin Booker will announce his decision to commit to Mizzou. My source also indicate Kentucky won't win the NCAA title game next season.

Why couldn't Frank Haith just stay one more season?
