COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Mike Anderson is bringing his swarming style of defense and fast-paced play to the University of Missouri. Anderson was hired as Missouri's basketball coach Sunday, taking over following Quin Snyder's resignation last month.
Anderson, who led Alabama-Birmingham to a 24-7 record and an NCAA tournament appearance this season, is the first permanent black head coach at Missouri, though Melvin Watkins, a Snyder assistant, served as interim coach after Snyder's resignation.
Anderson also a former assistant to Nolan Richardson at Arkansas and played for Richardson at Tulsa.
