Sterk wasn't Choi's guy, just someone he inherited when he got to MU.

Sterk was to Choi what Odom was to Sterk. Sterk wanted to upgrade and moved on from Odom. Odom wasn't horrible but his upside was 6-6/7-5. That's not what Sterk wanted and it was easier to make the move on the guy Mack Rhoades hired than it would be to do so to his own hire (see Cuonzo Martin).

The same thing applies with Sterk. He was passable, the AD equivalent to a 7-5/6-6 football coach and Choi wanted more out of the position. Moving on from the guy Hank Foley hired is easier than doing so to someone he had hired.

                         Again, that is how coaches are measured. Those are not - FIJItiger MU - 8/24 07:20:17
          "How to move the AD into the future" is vague - alstl MU - 8/23 07:35:11
               Choi never said anything about winning. - alwaysright MU - 8/23 10:58:16
                    Then somebody explain why Sterk was replaced with Francois - alstl MU - 8/23 13:29:11
                         Because Sterk, who is close to retirement, wasn’t down with - alwaysright MU - 8/23 16:00:09
                              I would agree with that - Genco98 MU - 8/24 09:23:26
               So you don't have any proof that he was fired because - tgr MU - 8/23 08:39:34

                    RE: Here's just a short list of reasons why he was fired... - tgr MU - 8/23 08:44:30
                         OMG a who's who list of reasons and this is the one you - MU-TULSA MU - 8/23 09:26:43
                         That's nonsense. Plus, he chose the wrong guy... - zounami MU - 8/23 08:47:07
                              But you didn't say anything about picking the wrong guy. - tgr MU - 8/23 09:01:33
                                   That's nonsense. The contract was excessive... - zounami MU - 8/23 10:02:48
                                        The contract included some performance based clauses - FIJItiger MU - 8/23 10:53:20
          That was part of it. He was also an incompetent buffoon. (nm) - zounami MU - 8/23 07:22:57

          Sterk was the AD who accomplished that in 20-21 - UNLV - alstl MU - 8/23 07:45:13
               I'll try to explain this to the fool who couldn't understand - zounami MU - 8/23 08:50:45
               Coaches drive won/loss records, not ADs. ADs have - FIJItiger MU - 8/23 07:50:09

                    It really is preposterous. And its entirely plausible that - FIJItiger MU - 8/23 08:02:06
