Love Norm Stewart but his teams peaked at Big 8 tournament too many times.

 

[20Tiger20]

Quin is one of the best coaches in all basketball, we got him too soon unfortunately.

 

[Gerald Gomez]

Stormin' Norman for the win

 

[hangmanbobbyjaggers]

Mike Anderson had a system and knew the types of players he needed for it. One of the better coaches. Norm was great and brought in great talent. Could he do that this day and time? CM is that type of coach and competes, but is inconsistent and fans do not like that style unless you win games as it shows in the attendance.

Probably not because kids don't want to play his style anymore even if they're winning a lot.

We should leave Coach Martin alone. I do not understand anybody wanting to change coaches again. It is not his fault that the Porter's did not work out. It is all about recruiting in College basketball. Why do teams like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, and the so-call elite teams win? RECRUITING!!!! 90 % of your college coaches can coach if they have the players. What is wrong with Coach Martin's system? They push the ball, they play hard, they shoot the three. He plays a lot of players why wouldn't you want to play for him. He is demanding on his players but they are not out of control they are discipline. Give him a chance to recruit and win and then the fans will come back. "Build it and they will come" He is exactly the kind of coach we need in Columbia.

 

[washMoSports]

Bone my question is when is he going to start recruiting those players?? He’s supposed to be this fantastic recruiter but only big stars he got was by hiring their dad as coach. They didn’t work out and I agree not his fault. But haven’t seen anything that was to go with them. Let’s face it Porter was going to be a one and done. So have to be filling after him.

But Martin isn’t going anywhere with that huge buyout. Hopefully he can turn it around because otherwise gonna be a wasted 5-6 years.

Bones I can't believe your on the Martin bandwagon. Martin has had three years to recruit. The Porters came because of their father being paid $ 350,000. per year ( 5th highest paid asst coach in the country ). Porter will not be a bench coach @ Missouri next year. We must look @ the recruits who are on the Missouri roster the last couple of years. Bones, how many Missouri roster players could be in the rotation @ any other SEC schools?
If Martin was doing his job, 5 or 6 Missouri roster players would be leaving the Tiger program.
Martin is starting two of Kim Anderson's players. Kim Anderson was fired for not having enough talent to win in the SEC after his third season. The attendance @ Missouri is lacking.
Missouri is hurting for money and must float a loan to finish this season and start next season. Missouri has three teams who are ban from post season play ( Football, baseball and football ).

Martin is being paid around 2.7 million dollars per year and was ranked 13th in a 14 team league this season ( SEC Coaches ) which is about the the same last season. If we look @ the roster for this season and projection for next season, it will be more of the same because of lack of talent, bring in talent is resting on Martin shoulders. There is nobody else to blame but Martin.

Bones, what will Martin do differently next season to avoid 12th, 13th or 14th place in the SEC?

Missouri basketball is a hard place to recruit, the top Missouri talent is enrolling out of state.

Martin's salary isn't $2.7 million, Porter's salary isn't $350,000 and isn't in the top 10 of assistant coaches. Do you just make up stuff?

New Missouri men’s basketball assistant coach Michael Porter Sr. signed a three-year contract March 22 worth $1.125 million. The deal, which runs through April 30, 2020, calls for an annual base salary of $300,000, plus an additional $75,000 in supplemental salary each year.
OK. He gets $375,000 plus perks.

Cuonzo Martin will be the highest-paid Missouri basketball coach in the program’s history, and it isn’t even close.

Missouri released Martin’s contract details during his introductory press conference Monday. He will be paid $21 million over seven years, with his total guaranteed pay starting at $2.7 million in Year 1 and going up $100,000 each year of the deal. His base salary for all seven years is $300,000, with the additional funds referred to as “supplemental” income. That's pretty much 3 million a year.

Porter Sr. also will received.
1. Country club membership
2. Courtesy Car
3. Four season tickets for all men and women basketball games.
4. Tickets for all home sporting events @ Missouri.

If we read Hangman post and the above salaries and incentives for Michael Porter Sr. It is clear, Martin and Porter " Fooled the University of Missouri " when they negotiated their above salaries. ( Good job by Martin and Porter and a very bad deal by the University AD.

The University of Missouri will float a loan to run their athletic programs It is clear why the University of Missouri is in the red, look @ the above for one of the reasons.

Missouri is a ten point underdog tonight when they play LSU.

I'm not sure I fault the AD for both Porters being injured. If they both play like they can that first year is a lot different. Then if Jontay plays the second year it's a lot different too. Better results likely would have lead to better support and better recruiting. Which would have made this season different as well. The investment in MPS most likely would have paid off, if he's boys weren't so injury prone. Unfortunately that didn't happen and here we are.

My only issue is why did MPJ wait until two mins into the first game to decide he couldn't play anymore. He didn't suddenly injure the back. He had issues well before then. The way that whole thing went down was a little suspicious to me.

Three yrs is a long time to recruit in today’s college basketball landscape. But I’d say you’re right, give him the time. I think what has most concerned is there doesn’t seem to be an improvement in players and performance. In fact, there seems to be regression. And it’s not like the recruits are getting better. He “landed” next yrs lone commit after he was recruited by MU, Southern Utah, and Jacksonville St. That’s more than likely what has folks a bit concerned.

St. Louis Christian Jaden Jones, 6'7" 95 lbs. guard may have interest in Missouri. I believe he was in Columbia for the Arkansas game this past weekend. The Martin group has not made an offer to date. Can someone update the above and can Jaden Jones play in the SEC?

I don't think anyone was expecting CM to win a lot with lesser players. If they did they haven't paid attention to him over the years. He needs top level players to carry the load on offense. Most thought he could recruit the better players from StL. Obviously that hasn't happened yet. It may never. But honestly, how many top players, with NBA ambitions, want to play in a defensive style system? That's the biggest concern for me. I like CM as a person. He seems to want to do things the right way and lead kids in the right direction. But his job is to win D1 basketball games. Unless you're an established blue blood you're going to have to suck up to the top players and tell them what they want to hear, whether you like doing that or not.

We all knew we were hiring him and purchasing the services of his sons for that contract. There may have been a few, I don't recall, who objected at the time but most of us sat here fat, dumb and happy to be getting the potential of the sons. Turned out to be a bad investment on our part but sometimes you strike out when you swing for the fences.

 

[hangmanbobbyjaggers]

Yes. Which still doesn't make put him in the top 10 of assistant coaches, despite Metro claiming he is in the top 5.

You were wrong about the head and assistant coaches salaries though.

 

[hangmanbobbyjaggers]

I am not unhappy at all about CM or Coach Porter being hired. Both are great role model for our young men at Mizzou. Hopefully they will get it headed in the right direction. Who knows what the future holds, but wish both coaches best of luck and hopefully they get it turned around at Mizzou. The red could be from post season revenue in football that was lost due to the shared revenue they usually get from the SEC is what I am guessing. If that is even true they are in the red.

 

[metro-dude]

With Porter Sr. leaving the Missouri basketball program, We can do it again. There are a few parents with kids who can play in the SEC would take the Porter Sr position and enroll their kid @ Missouri. Missouri AD and Cuonzo Martin, use all the resource available to get a SEC type player. Porter Sr's contract ends on April 30, 2020. Could someone second the above?

It’s major division one college athletics in one of the two revenue generating sports. You don’t need role models. You need coaches that can recruit, win games, and generate some excitement about the program which puts butts in seats.

I wasn't wrong about the salaries. Porter doesn't make $350,000, he makes $375,000, which still doesn't put him in top 5. And Martin doesn't make $2.7 mil he makes $2.9 mil and will make $3 mil next year.

I am not on Coach Martin's "Bandwagon". I am just trying to be realistic. You can not change coaches every 3 years. Let us be realistic you have to have stability in any program whether it is high school or college. If you change you are just starting over. you said something about Missouri talent other than Love and Jones are there other D-1 talent in Missouri? Seems he recruited Tilmon, Pickett, McKinney, Braun, Watson. How is that working out? Money should not even be a factor anyone you hire will make that kind of money. How many seniors are on the roster? Isn't Nikko the only one. I think that should be a factor,

But you didn't figure in all the bonus checks they will receive in their incentive package that they get so really nobody knows what his actual salary will be until the end of the year if you want to get technical about it.

Not a Mizzou fan. But I love college hoops (getting harder with how bad the overall play is though) and would go to some games if they had anything near a quality product. I’ve lived no more than 90 mins from Columbia the past 15 yrs. Coached HS hoops all but two of them and had access to tickets whenever. I don’t think I’ve been since CMA was around.

The most apparent thing to me is how overpaid these guys, and gals, are. We are so stupid. None of them have the societal value of a good elementary teacher at your local school. As Raw pointed out in another thread, decent retirement awaiting any that can push through 25-30 years but geesh in between it is a challenge. Just cogent proof we will pay more for our entertainment than we will for necessities.

Porter Sr. also will received.
1. Country club membership
2. Courtesy Car
3. Four season tickets for all men and women basketball games.
4. Tickets for all home sporting events @ Missouri.

If we read Hangman post and the above salaries and incentives for Michael Porter Sr. It is clear, Martin and Porter " Fooled the University of Missouri " when they negotiated their above salaries. ( Good job by Martin and Porter and a very bad deal by the University AD.

The University of Missouri will float a loan to run their athletic programs It is clear why the University of Missouri is in the red, look @ the above for one of the reasons.

Missouri is a ten point underdog tonight when they play LSU.

While on the court/field performance fires up alums to donate and attend, off the field garbage hurts it also.

The most apparent thing to me is how overpaid these guys, and gals, are. We are so stupid. None of them have the societal value of a good elementary teacher at your local school. As Raw pointed out in another thread, decent retirement awaiting any that can push through 25-30 years but geesh in between it is a challenge. Just cogent proof we will pay more for our entertainment than we will for necessities.

Free marketplace is a great thing.

Free marketplace is a great thing.

Agree 100% with that sentiment! It is the wisdom (or rather, lack thereof) of the market-goers that I criticize.

Mark Few @ Gonzaga has a salary @ 1.6 million. He is a happy coach and will not leave the Zags for money.

Missouri has not had great success in hiring basketball coaches since he Norm Stewart days. We, Missouri should start our new coaches @ a Mark Few type salary and guarantee the big salary after achieving the great success the coaches are promising the Missouri AD! We should not be handing out large salaries without success @ Missouri.

Missouri maybe the hardest place in the SEC to recruit top level basketball talent without hiring their parents ( Which is not violation ) It would be difficult but not impossible for any successful coach in the country to turn this Missouri ship around.

...Us face it... Missouri is and always will be mediocre D-1 basketball school...
The list of major accomplishments in the entire history of the program would not equal the number of fingers on ones hand... C =|~
